Keen fencer Oliver Strange is now the U17 Great Britain No.1 champion. Competing against 285 world-wide fencers in the Men’s Cadet Foil at the Budapest Cup, Oliver won all his poule fights advancing through the direct elimination phase of the competition until he was finally knocked out by the gold medal winner from Hungary.

Oliver will represent GB at the European Cadet Championships in Porec, Croatia in March where he will compete for the individual and team titles. He will then travel to Salt Lake City to participate in the Cadet Men’s Foil World Championships in April.

Good luck Oliver!
