Fencing News: Public Schools Fencing Championships
I am pleased to report on a successful trip to the 2022 Public Schools Fencing Championships at Lee Valley in London. On this occasion we entered a small squad of Sixth Form fencers, Lucas Hancock, Will Fallows and Jack Pitt.
All three students took part in the Boys Senior Épée event. This category included 88 fencers. I am pleased to announce that all three RGS fencers made it through the first and second rounds and therefore into the direct elimination stage.
Jack unfortunately went out in the last 64, to finish in 37th position. Will and Lucas both had a bye to the last 32. Will lost his last 32 fight to finish in 19th position, while Lucas progressed smoothly through to the last 16, before being eliminated and finishing in 10th position.
Well done to all three students who did remarkably well and improved on their results in the 2019 event, which is the last time this national event was run.
