The Chichester’s Fencing Club starlet was only just old enough to complete and fenced superbly to win the under-18, under-20 and the overall ladies Sussex titles.

Even after the success of the three gold medals, her fantastic day wasn’t finished as the organisers awarded her the prestigious ‘most stylish fencer’ trophy.

Winning that trophy meant she was picked out above not just the women’s entrants but the men’s too, topping a great day for her and Chichester Fencing Club.
