FENCING: Bolton schoolgirl Olivia Fay impressed when she represented the Great Britain Under-17s fencing team in a competition in Grenoble.
The 16-year-old Thornleigh High School pupil qualified for the epee event after breaking into the top-20 ranked cadet players in the country, and won three out of five in the first round.
In the second round, she won two out of five but that was not enough to see her progress and she ended the competition 141st out of 243.
Olivia will fence for Great Britain in Bonn, Germany next year and is looking for sponsorship. For more information, email olivia_fay@hotmail.co.uk
