Louise S. (Y11) has gone from strength to strength in the épée scene, finally gaining her British stripes. This year she has started fencing in Womens' Senior Events (in addition to Cadet and Junior) to gain valuable experience. She has been much more successful than anticipated and has risen over 200 places in the Senior Rankings since Easter, achieving 27th in the Birmingham International, 24th in the British Senior Championships and 6th in the Women's Elite Epée in April; 5th in the Luton Open and 5th in the Hampshire Open in May; and a stunning 2nd in Saturday's Chichester Open, where she lost in the final by just 1 point. Louise has been invited to fence on the Senior Women's Welsh regional team in July at the prestigious Winton Cup competition at Nottingham Trent University and as part of the U19 Welsh squad for the School Games at Loughborough University in September. Well done Louise!
