Congratulations to Sam Boyle (L), who will travel to Bratislava next month for the Coupe de Danube fencing competition on 12th and 13th February, as part of the Great Britain Development squad.
Accompanied by Maggie Mynard, GBR Fencing’s Cadet Epée Captain, and a further 4 boys, Sam will have a fantastic opportunity to compete against the very best young fencers from across Europe.
The competition forms part of the European Cadet Circuit of the European Fencing Confederation, featuring 170 boys and 130 girls, and the trip is intended to give Sam and his compatriots experience of fencing at the highest level, before hopefully being selected for the full Cadet squad next season.
Being selected for this squad is a fantastic achievement, and we wish Sam well as he strives to make the transition from national to international standard fencing.
