Geoffrey Russell Cup
After a hiatus of 2 years for obvious reasons, Wiltshire's premier intra-club foil competition is back. This year there will also be a special award for the best-placed novice so there is no excuse not to get involved. Will Steve retain the title or can someone else rise to the Challenge?
