This year, once again, the London Fencing Club was well represented at the Queen's Open with six fencers having travelled to Kingston to compete. There was a lot of great fencing over the two day event, with nail bitting matches and excellent skill level.
Noah Stokan fenced in his first fencing tournament at the Milton Youth Epee Cup. He had many exciting bouts especially the one where he tied the match up with just seconds to go, and won in overtime in a dramatic fashion! We wish Noah lots of success in future tournaments.
Andrea Csiba left her mark at the Toronto Open 2014 tournament winning third place in Senior Women's Épée. The Toronto Open was the first tournament in the 2014-2015 season.
