Whitchurch Fencing Club held an Open Air Epee match on Sunday, 23 June, in Coity Castle. A very closely fought and exciting event. It was a Poule Unique of 8 fencers (so with a maximum score of 7 victories), and at the end of the match, three fencers had six victories - so the placing was decided on ‘Indicators’, with only 1 point separating second & third places !
Results:
| Winner : | Andrea Bertelli |
| Second : | Rupert Nute |
| Third : | Michael Clemitson |

Cadet Team
Junior Team
The 12th-19th July saw our Cadet & Junior Squad out in Christchurch, NZ for the 2024 Commonwealth Championships.
The cadet squad came together on 10th July, preparing at a local training venue. After 2 training sessions to shake the flight out of the legs and prepare for the event, day 1 of competition saw Thandile Nash in CWF winning 5 of her 6 poule fights to be ranked 5th. She had a bye into the L16, then came up against a strong English fencer, and despite her best efforts and some great fencing, went out 15-10.
