Ben Andrews No.1 in Great Britain!

Following a successful run of International performances in Austria, Denmark, France and Luxembourg, Ben is now ranked No.1 in Great Britain (U17).

With another year to go in his current age category Ben has exceeded expectation and is the only Cadet on the British Team to have achieved a top 32 finish at all the International competitions nominated by British Fencing in the 2016-2017 season, the only British fencer to have done so this year,

With a highest ranking of 13th at international level Ben's official European ranking is 40th in the U17's.  This puts him in a great position for the European Championships, for which he is one of only four chosen to represent Great Britain in the Mens (U17) Epee.

The European Championships take place in Plovdiv Bulgaria in the last week of February and consist of both Team and Individual competitions.

Bens Fencing Coaches Michal Janca and Pete Barret, his Core Stability and Gym trainer Dan Waddingham and Plymouth Colleges commitment to the sport with a dedicated Fencing Salle have all been key to Ben achieving such results this year.
