Sophie Rouwenhurst, after a less than successful first two rounds which saw her seeded 7th, turned on the style in the DEs and knocked out Niamh Noble (Frisby Fencers), followed by 2nd Seed Alisha Arden (Knightsbridge) and then team-mate Ellie Taylor to reach the final of the event. After a great attempt, she succumbed to the much more experienced Ellie Parmar (R&REC, one of Chris’s school fencers from Surrey) in the final. Great results for Sophie 2nd and Ellie Taylor 3rd as well as Rachael Lever, who though finishing in 7th, had a great first 2 rounds and went out in the quarter finals following some interesting refereeing decisions.
I will update other club fencers results when they become available as nothing has been published yet.
