The last echo from the Public School Fencing Championship - in the Épée event for all six age categories, Plymouth College claimed 2nd place overall. The Girls performance finishing 3rd earned them the Crystal Palace Plate. In the Hymers College Cup category with less than 31 entries, our College finished 2nd again.
In the Leon Paul Junior Series in London, Abagael Black entered the U15 girl's category and claimed the gold medal with revenge over the opponent who eliminated her in the semi-final at the recent Public School Fencing Championship. Leon Payton, in his first year at the U13 level, playing against older and more experienced fencers, was eliminated by a narrow one hit difference and finished 19th overall.
