Men Epee Team National Champions 3 years in a row
Haverstock’s fencers made it a winning hat-trick at the Beazley National Championships in Sheffield – as well as taking the silver in an all-Haverstock final.
Sixteen fencers travelled to Sheffield to compete in British Fencing’s showcase competition.
Haverstock have a proud history of excelling at the national tournament, and this year was no different as the men’s team of Greg Allen, Nick Perry and Gareth Thomas defeated all-comers to collect the club’s third national team title in a row.
In the final they overcame Haverstock’s second team – made up of Alistair Gerrard, Toby Blench and Jason Retter – who had fought their way through tough opposition to meet their clubmates in a climactic duel.
In the individual competition, Perry fenced well to earn himself a bronze medal, narrowly losing to the eventual champion.

Gianluca back in the Elite
Gianluca Farina marked his return to the big time with a well-earned bronze medal at the Autumn Elite Epee event. The event was the toughest domestic outside the British Champs this year and only World No. 25 Jon Willis could best Gianluca. Another fine medal for the club.
Lorenzo's breakthrough win
Lorenzo Paolosini won his first ever Open even in Britain with success at the Bedford Open, improving on his silver of last year. Greg Allen also nabbed a bronze medal, after Lorenzo knocked him out in the semi-finals. Forza, Lore!
Jonny's silver lining
Jonny May just missed out on retaining his Junior National Championship, but could content himself with a silver in a typically excellent Haverstock effort.
Matt bags first Open win
Not long after his first medal for us, Matt Dalton secured his first ever Open win with victory in the Ashton Open. Great work sir.
This means with the season only a month old Haverstock have already reached double figures in medals and medallists, which is incredible.

Bronagh treats herself in Sussex
Bronagh Keppler treated herself to a late birthday present with a well earned bronze medal at the Sussex Open. Top effort.
Jimmy and Alastair help England strike Gold
After individual success, Jimmy teamed up with Alastair Gerrard and the rest of the England team to help win the Gold medal in the team epee at the Commonwealth Championships. Outstanding effort team.
Jimmy and Jayne mine bronze Down Under
Jimmy Thornton and Jayne Crook both secured excellent bronze medals for England in the individual Men's epee and Women's epee at the Commonwealth Championships in Melbourne, Australia, extending Haverstock influence to the other side of the World. Well done people.
Nick and Jayne take on the World
Congratulations to Nick Perry and Jayne Crook, who have been selected to represent Great Britain at the World Championships in Paris this November. Good luck to both of them.
Haverstock made entirely of win
The club has decided that all Haverstock finals are old-fashioned and went for a clean sweep of the medals at the Bristol Open instead. To demonstrate our strength in depth even further, the four medallists were different from the Essex Open finalists. Greg beat Nick in the final to take a 2-1 lead in their ongoing final head to heads. The fencing was of such high quality that some passing guys wanted to interview Alessandro for a magazine they are producing. The medallists (Jimmy, Alessandro, Nick and Greg, l-r) can be seen posing with Barry Paul, MD of Leon Paul, the club's sponsor and leading fencing equipment manufacturer.
Jonny bosses the kids
Not content with winning at the senior level, the club gained yet more hardware with Jonny May winning the BSC event at Hampton, one of the key domestic events for selection for the Junior British team and an excellent warm up for the forthcoming British Junior Championships. Well done Jonny.
New Season, Old Story
The start of the 2010-11 season started off with Essex Open back as the traditional curtain raiser and once again there was an all Haverstock final. This time the finalists were Chris Kelly and Mike Skipp. They were both had tough routes to the final but fought off all competition and their own fitness struggles to meet at the end. Chris proved strongest, but Mike was delighted with his best ever finish in a Open. The photo shows them atop the podium with their trophies.
Season Review
2009-10 was another amazing year for Haverstock that saw the club win another hatful of medals.
It saw club members represent Great Britain at Senior World Championships, Senior European Championships, Junior World Championships and Junior European Championships as well as numerous World Cup Events, which saw Nick Perry beat the reigning World Champion.
At the domestic level, Haverstock won at least 20 medals for a top 3 finish during the season, with 5 Senior Open victories, three all Haverstock finals and two clean sweeps of first, second and third.
A great effort from everyone and let's hope for more of the same next season.

British Men's Team Champions
The men's team of Alastair Gerrard, Nick Perry, James Thornton and Greg Allen (l-r) were victorious at the British Team Championships winning a thrilling final having been trailing early on.
They were helped no end by James putting his freakishly long arm to good use (see photo)!
This means that Haverstock have now been British Team Champions a massive ten times since 1997. Well done guys.

Alastair leads the Elite home
Alastair Gerrard won the inaugaral Elite Open Epee and James Thornton took bronze ahead of a strong field that saw lots of upsets on the way. This was Alastair's first win under Haverstock colours and meant that it was the club's fifth win in a Senior Men's Open and fourteeneth Top 3 finish this season. Top work guys.
Silver Lining at Birmingham
James Thornton added another silver to the medal collection for Haverstock, taking second place at Birmingham. Well done James.
Invicta brings big rewards
Another competition, another set of medals for Haverstock. On this day Alessandro Lazzati proved to be the Capo di Tutti Capi of our Italian contingent, bringing home the silver medal. Lorenzo Paolosini was an excellent third and Greg Allen L8. For the ladies, Lucinda Gallant added to her growing medal collection with an impressive third place and Caroline Nickerson celebrated her first fencing medal with a L8 finish.

Sara Spence wins GOLD
Haverstock fencer, Sara Spence, 41, won the national veterans’ women’s épée championship at Gloucester’s Oxstalls Tennis Centre. The format for these championships, which are open to all fencers over the age of 40, is two rounds of poules, in which groups of six fence each other, followed by direct elimination. This stage involves scoring ten hits within six minutes with a one-minute rest after three minutes.
Only seventh seed after the poules, Spence reached the quarter-finals without much difficulty, but then had a hard-fought match against Kate Morwell-Neave, of Canterbury, before narrowly winning 5-4.
In the semi-finals, she established an early 6-0 lead over former world veteran silver medallist Clare Halsted and held on to win 10-4. A similar pattern emerged in the final against Jane Clayton, as Spence dominated from the start to win 10-4 and collect her first national title.
