Big congratulations to the two Thame Duellists fencers who entered the Southern Region Age Group Championships last weekend. It was a tough ask with over a hundred competitors overall and only the top quarter able to qualify for the British Youth Championships - both came away with bronze medals after competing hard over the course of the day, and booked their places at the BYCs in Sheffield in May. Well done Hal and Rebekah!
