A regional royal flush

On a busy weekend for the club’s fencers, with six of our most deadly U16s and U18s engaged elsewhere, the RTWFC team at the South East Regionals still absolutely smashed it – winning two golds, a silver and four bronzes to secure a full fistful of medals.

James Dunmall and Lorenzo Rehman (pictured) took gold in the U14 boys and U12 boys events respectively, while Artemis Nakos took silver in the U12 girls event, and Zach Bench (U18), Hiba Rochdi (U18) Logan Brown (U14) and Willa Raymond (U12) all went home with well-earned bronzes.

As well as seven of the team making the podium, six made the quarter finals and another two fencers qualified for the British Youth Championships in Sheffield in early May.

The results underlined Royal Tunbridge Wells Fencing Club’s status as the most successful epee club in the region for under 18s in recent years, and bodes well for the national finals in early May.
