PLYMOUTH College’s Abagael Black made an impressive start to her fencing season over Easter.

The Year 10 pupil competed at the Senior British National Championships at SportsDock London and finished 10th, despite being still a cadet.

She then backed that up by winning a bronze medal at the British Cadet Ranking Competition in Cardiff.

This weekend, Black will be competing for Devon with former Plymouth College pupils, Tia Simms-Lymn and Kerenza Bryson, in the Excalibur inter-counties team event.
