<![CDATA[North East women's sabre has another National Champion!]]>Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:31:03 -0800http://durhamfencingcentre.org/3/post/2012/10/north-east-womens-sabre-has-another-national-champion.htmlPicture
This weekend (6th and 7th October 2012) saw Kira Roberts from Laszlo's Fencing crowned as National Champion in the British Senior Championships. Kira has come close on two previous occations with bronze in 2011 and silver in 2010. She was unbeaten during the day, cruising to the final against Harriet Dixson from Camden, beating her 15-8.

In the team event on the second day Kira joined fellow Laszlo's Fencing team mates Beth Davidson and Stephanie Land to try and make it a double. With some very stiff competition, Laszlo's Fencing eventually were knocked out in the semi-final against the eventual winners and had to be satisfied with a bronze medal.

Laszlo's Fencing women's sabre team are the record holders for the National Team titles, winning a total of five times! For Beth it was only a week since she took the Veteran Commonwealth gold medal in Singapore!

<![CDATA[Commonwealth Double for Beth! Posted 5th October 2012]]>Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:28:33 -0800http://durhamfencingcentre.org/3/post/2012/10/october-11th-2012.html

A NORTH-EAST fencer has won two gold medals after representing her country in an international championship.

Beth Davidson, from Darlington, represented England at the Commonwealth Veteran Fencing championships in Singapore, winning the team and individual sabre events.

Ms Davidson, who competes in the category one age range, for 40 to 49-year-olds, had a smooth path to the final, where she defeated a former world champion.

In the team event, Ms Davidson helped her team mates defeat Wales and Australia to win gold for England.

Her victories in Singapore mean Ms Davidson is now national, Commonwealth and European champion in her age group.

When she is not competing Ms Davidson is based at Northumbria University as the region’s fencing development officer and trains at Durham University.

She said: “It’s been a fantastic year so far. I’m focusing on the next European individuals because I only achieved silver last year and that would mean I would be the holder of all veteran titles for my age group, but keeping on top of injuries will be the greatest challenge.”
