The weekend at the start of February saw our women's foilists scattered around Europe!
Catriona Sibert represented Great Britain at the senior World Cup in Gdansk (Poland) as a result of Catriona's current GB ranking (she's GB No.4). Catriona has also been selected to fence for Britain at forthcoming World Cup events in Budapest (Hungary) and St. Petersburg (Russia).
Congratulations to Chloe Dickson and Katie Smith who have been selected to represent Great Britain at the 2014 European Junior Championships!
Britain will be taking a full team of four fencers and half of the team are from EFC! Congratulations too to Yvonne Chart, from Truro who has fenced at EFC as our guest before and represented us at the British Team Championships.
This year's Championships will be from 28th February to 4th March in Jerusalem.
EFC continued it's domination of Women's Foil in Scotland coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Scottish Open Championships. This is the second year running that we have managed this, the third year running that the final has been an all EFC affair and the 6th year running that an EFC fencer has won this event!

Success too in the Men's Foil event with Mark Legkowski taking bronze.
