This weekend hosted the fencing regional championships called the Winton Cup taking place in Nottingham.  This 2 day 6 weapon tournament is where regions fight each other out to be crowed  team champions.

The North East team had a mixture of age, youth and experience. The sabre teams made strong performances over the 2 days but many of our top fencers were missing making it a big challenge for us to compete with the likes of South East, finishing a total 8th out of 9 teams.

Next year the competition will be held on the 4th+5th July 2015 and we hope this will be time to bring our strongest possible team together and challenge for the title!

Well done to all our team!
