A Very Successful Home Tournament

The Camden LPJS Sabre tournament proved to be a record for the club yesterday with 27 of our young fencers taking part; we have never had as many Camden fencers compete in one event before.
Our fencers performed really well in the competition and we came away with an impressive 3 gold, 2 silver and 6 bronze medals across the various age groups.  Camden fencers' final placings were as follows:
