Canty fencers winning return
Alan Bunn, a 30-year-old high school teacher, re-emerged on the Canterbury fencing scene at an open tournament last week-end.

In a close final, David Metcalfe was victorious after a three-way barrage
with Robert Bain and ) Paul Wilson. Also notable was the performance of Isabelle Perkins, the only female finalist The award for the youngest finalist was won by Andrew Kell, aged 14.
