The winner was 12 yr.old Ellie Baldwin, who fenced with tremendous determination throughout the evening and won all of her fights, thoroughly deserving her first place. She was closely contested by her friend, Caitlin Oldham, also 12, who was runner up after an exciting final bout. 3rd.place and this year’s style prize went to one of the youngest members of the club, Isabel d’Arrigo, and it was a delight to see neat and controlled fencing from a young lady of only 8 years old !
