💜MATCHDAY💜

It’s that time of the season yet again where our first teams fight for a space in the BUCS finals! Both teams go up against the northern league winners, with the Women’s team looking to make it dos finals in a row, and the Men’s team looking to make it 9 consecutive finals!

Join us in sending our very best to both teams as they look to get their names up on the walls of the salle! Best of luck to both 💜🤺💜

It’s a big day in the Laszlo Jakab Fencing Salle, with 5 home matches and 2 away matches, which means every Durham team has a match! Including both first teams going against Nottingham, Wdos facing off against Liverpool, M3 battling joint league leaders Leeds and M4 facing off against Sheffield - Away, we have W3 going against Lancaster 2’s, and MDos away at Liverpool.

As it is such a busy day, it would be brilliant to see as much support as possible especially at 4pm for the Nottingham fixtures.

There were also 2 fixtures last week, M3 and W2 both took on Sheffield (M2 and W1) and both teams won💜

As always, the very best of luck to ALL teams this week! 💜

At home, looking to continue their winning ways, M3 take on Sheffield 2’s, and our WDos faces off against our W3 which should be as exciting as ever!

We wish all teams the best of luck!
