The Junior and Cadet Fencing Championships 2022 was held in Dubai, UAE from the 2nd April to 10 April 2022.
We have 4 SGF fencers who qualified to represent their country at the world stage:
Coach Samson and Coach Cheryl was also part of the Singapore Contingent of National Partner Coaches there to guide our fencers.
It was certainly enriching for our fencers! Most of them were debutants at the World Junior and Cadet Championships! Competing among the World’s Best in Dubai.
