Full report
Our Under 11 Girls stole the show at this very strong event by taking the top 2 spots with Ellie Taylor beating Rachael Lever in the final. Rachael had a really tough draw in the knock-outs having had a difficult poule round and had to beat Messina Herrling (number 1 seed) in the quarter finals, followed by Henriette Hadalin in the semi-finals (10-9 final score). Maisie McCormack also fenced well, however after her 2nd place at Event 1, succumbed to a very focused Ellie Taylor in the Quarter-finals to place 7th. On their first competitions Lauren Eke placed 10th and Ellie Tinsley 12th with encouraging performances.
