Still buzzing from the British Open Fencing Championship 2026. Matt Cooper and I came third and brought home the bronze! 🥉
This was our fifth competition together and our first time on the podium. At the last Open, we came fourth, just two points short of third, so we were determined to go one better this time.
Last time we finished in around 3 hours 20 minutes. This year we were the first team to finish, getting the fence up in 2 hours 46 minutes. We’ve worked hard on the small details, and it’s great to see that effort pay off.
Congratulations to Mark Evans and Nic Quan on first place, and Stuart Miles and Peter Redgwell on second. Well done to everyone who competed, and thanks to McVeigh Parker Farm and Fencing Suppliers for putting on a great event.
It was a cracking day, and Matt and I are already looking forward to the next one!
