The Paul Davis Fencing Academy won 16 medals at the Hertfordshire Junior County Championships.

The competition took place at Herts Sports Village where 37 junior fencers from the academy competed. Team PDFA celebrated an impressive medal haul including three new county champions.

The academy has been the junior hub of fencing in St Albans and Harpenden where a centre of excellence has been developed over the last four years.

Regular fencing sessions are held for nearly 400 children a week at 25 fencing clubs. These sessions provide an opportunity for children aged between seven and 16 to take up the sport.

The fencing clubs are open to all and information on the sessions can be found at www.pdf-academy.co.uk.
