STRATFORD Fencing Club took two first places in this year's Leon Paul League.

Chris Horner, aged 16 from Warwick School, won the Under 17 league and Michael Stone, aged 14 from KES, won the Under 15 league.

Will Garrity, of Chipping Campden, was fourth in the Under 17s and Richard Brenda, aged 14 from Alcester High School was fourth in the Under 15 category ahead of a pack of fellow club members.

In the final league competition of the season, at Loughborough last weekend, Alcester twins Thomas and Richard Brenda engaged in a long fight. It was the latter who was always trailing until he managed to level the score at 14 all.

He then won the next point and the match to finish in third. Thomas finished fifth.
