Commonwealth Success for Welsh Veterans Scotland 2014
Medal winning Mens Sabre Team
Commonwealth Veterans Fencing Championships
Welsh Veteran Sabreurs took medals in Largs during the Veterans Fencing Commonwealths.
Rob Brooks (ME) took the age group medal, being the highest ranked veteran in his age group as well as the highest ranked Welsh epeeist. Congratulations Rob.
With the Welsh contingent fully behind and supporting the sabreurs throughout the quarter and semi-finals in what was an exciting, nail-biting and breath taking conclusion to a long and tiring day, saw both previous Commonwealth men's sabre Champion Rob Penton and the latest addition to the veterans fold, Jim Crawfurd, in the semi finals.
Unfortunately it was not to be an all Welsh final, with Jim Crawfurd taking the Gold and Rob Penton the Bronze. Jim also picked up the Gold for the Age Group category.
The sabreurs then continued their wining formula with the addition of Richard Hughes-Thomas and Nick Hawksworth in the Team event.
In the final they faced old rivals, England, and after some truly heart-stopping individual and closely fought bouts the England team emerged victorious with Wales taking the team Silver.
Congratulations to the entire Sabre team.
Congratulations to ALL the Welsh fencers who made the long and arduous journey to Scotland to represent Wales, everyone demonstrating why Wales has such a great team spirit and team ethic, supporting each other throughout the competition.
