Jack Horrix win Silver as Camden Fencers Excel at the BUCS Sabre Champs

Congratulations to Jack Horrix for an excellent 2nd place at the British Universities and Colleges Sports Championships at the weekend, and also to fellow Camden fencers James Potter and Gianfranco Artesi who made the quarter finals (5th and 8th respectively). 

It was a large entry in the mens' Sabre event and Camden had 6 fencers that made the last 16 stage or better.  In the quarter finals Gianfranco was beaten 15-12 by Caspian Watt, Jack beat Andrew Williamson 15/14 and James Potter (who had beaten another Camden Fencer Nuno Esteves in the L16) was beaten 15-13 by Sam Cooper.  In the semis Jack kept his head in another close fought encounter again winning 15-14.  In the final Jack faced GB junior team member Josh Maxwell, however Josh proved too strong for Jack winning 15/5.  This was a great result for Jack and good to see him back in winning ways !!

2nd Jack Horrix
