Well done to three of our young fencers who went to this competition. It was the first competition for Connor McKenzie who did well and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Aidan and Katrina went to Linlithgow Academy on Saturday. Aidan stormed to a Gold in the U13 Boys and went on to win a Bronze in the U15 Foil. Excellent results Aidan!

PS. Each of the 10 medals is listed elsewhere on the site. Double or quits that you can't find them :)

Here's a nice group photo of our proud medal winners

Thanks to Andy (aka David Bailey) for this superb example of the photographers art.

With the growing season for medals only just started we're already 25% of the way towards last years total. With a steam contest coming up this weekend maybe you'll all have a chance to bring back some shiny round discs!

Don't worry about not having fenced for very long; everybody else there is in the same boat!!

Nice One Andrew

Well done to Andrew Winter who got picked to represent Scotland at Epee in the recent UK School Games. A frequent visitor to the Club, Andrew is best known for being 'beaten up' at Pirates by the young ones.

This week he only managed to hold on to his UKSG Team Bronze Medal by the skin of his teeth!

A Doric Duo for Dunfermline FC

A visit to the Granite City at the weekend brought a brace of silver medals for Chloe - Ladies Epee and Foil. She was pipped at the post for the Master at Arms award by fellow Fife fencer, Sebastian Schulz of St Andrews University, but was happy to settle for best school pupil.

Tanya and Ken, regular visitors to our club, picked up honours as well. Ken with a bronze (Mens Foil) and Tanya with the same in the Ladies Foil.

Dunfermline Fencer wins Kendal Mint Cake!

20/21st June 2009

Alan and Chloe went to the Cumberland Open 2009 in Carlisle. Alan won zilch (11th in Epee!) but Chloe picked up a creditable bar of Kendal Mint Cake (KMC) in the Ladies epee, a second bar in the Ladies sabre and a jaw-busting three bars in the Ladies foil!!!

Five bars of KMC in one weekend! Fantastic performance. She also picked up a bronze at epee, another bronze at sabre and a gold medal at foil.

As this is the first ever Cumberland Open her name will be the first on the Jennings Trophy- (picture of medals, trophy and KMC bars in the Gallery))

As regular readers know, Chloe's ambition was to win Gold at a Senior Open before she was fourteen- she did it with nearly six months to spare!

Her next goal is to break into the top 100 British foilists before the end of the season. She's sitting at 104 just now and has her fingers crossed that this weekends results will get her over the line.
