The 2024 Irish Open was held Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October in the Irish National Indoor Arena at Blanchardstown in Dublin. Five Sullivan fencers took part: Amelia Penny and Cassidy Ogle competing in the women’s foil and Noah Currie, Lennox Brown and Adam Sugar in the men’s foil.
The Open is the biggest Irish fencing event of the year with fencers from Europe and further afield competing along with the best in Ireland. In the women’s foil event on the Saturday Amelia finished 14th and Cassidy 16th, then on the Sunday Lennox was 27th, Noah 31st and Adam 32nd in the men’s foil. All 5 put in strong performances and gained valuable experience fencing at senior level.
The next event for SUFC fencers will be at Round 2 of the 2024/2025 NI Junior Foil Series in Shankill Leisure Centre on Saturday 9th November.
