COLCHESTER and District Fencing Club members claimed a big medal haul at the Essex County Junior Championships.

All but one of the club's competitors secured a medal, with three of them earning international call-ups.

Eryn Rance was the only female Colchester and District Fencing Club (CADS) member to compete, with her sterling performance earning her silver in the under-12 girls' Foil.

Rory Maloney put up a great fight to earn silver in the under-ten boys' Foil while Joshua Ellsworth was sixth, in the under-12 equivalent.

Tudor Iordache took the bronze while Eurig Colville was in stunning form to win gold.

In the under-14 boys' foil, CADS took three of the four medals on offer.

Some great fencing from Joseph Rance and Alexander Brincklow earned them bronze medals, while Rory Myatt won silver.

In the under-14 boys' Epee, an all-CADS final resulted in defeat and a silver medal for Peter Calatayud, after club-mate Sam Colston took gold.

There was another CADS final in the under-12 boys' Sabre where Jan Calatayud put up a good fight but Oscar Brincklow emerged champion.

Colville has now been selected for the under-13 boys' Foil England squad while his club-mate Alexander Brincklow has been selected for the under-15 boys' Foil England squad.

The duo will fence in Poland, later this year.

Myles Ashforth has also been selected for international duty as part of the Great Britain under-17 Epee squad, fencing in Denmark.
