Congratulations to Sebastian Bennett, Year 3, who won the Gold medal at the first Leon Paul Junior Series, Under 9’s event of 2019. The event was held at Leon Paul’s fencing centre in London. Despite battling through an epic 10 hour trip to London due to the snow, he turned up to the event fresh faced, full of determination and competed against 18 other fencers to win GOLD.
Last year, Sebastian, was placed 4th overall in the National Leon Paul Junior Series Under 9’s category, competing against children nearly two years older than him, which was a tremendous achievement.
The second Under 9’s Leon Paul Junior Series (LPJS) event was held in Truro on Saturday 9th February. Sebastian Bennett, Year 3, fought his way to a gold medal to increase his lead at the top of the LPJS UK rankings after gaining maximum points from the two events so far.
Well done Sebastian!
