Bronzes for Bridget and JJ at the Leon Paul Sabre British Open

Congratulations to Bridget Pleasant and JJ Webb who both won bronzes at the Leon Paul British Open on 28th January.
In the womens event Bridget was seeded first after the poules and with 15-6 wins over both Harriet Davies and then Jennie Tillott she cruised through to a semi finals encouter against Harriet Dixon.  Despite leading to the break Bridget's opponent came back at her in the second half and edged Bridget out 15-13 in an exciting fight. In the other semi final Daisy Hutton beat Kate Daykin 15-12 but then lost to Harriet in the final 15-7. Congratulations also to Helen Fairhead who finished 7th in her first event back since taking some time out of fencing.
