Bath-based GB internationals win fantastic five titles at 2025 British Fencing Para-Fencing National Championships

Paralympic medallist Oliver Lam-Watson and University of Bath student Susie Seddon-Cowell won five gold medals between them at the 2025 British Fencing Para-Fencing National Championships in Sheffield.
Lam-Watson (pictured top), who trains at the Wheelchair Fencing National Training Centre based at the University’s Sports Training Village, dominated the men’s Category A events to secure the epee, foil and sabre titles.
Fellow GB international Seddon-Cowell, representing University of Bath Fencing Club, enjoyed double delight in the women’s Category A contests as she won epee and sabre gold. It continues an excellent season for the Team Bath Breakthrough Programme student-athlete, who combines para fencing with a PhD Research Programme in Mechanical Engineering at the University.

Justine Moore – who, like Lam-Watson and Seddon-Cowell, has been selected for the University-based Wheelchair Fencing World Class Programme (WCP) for 2025-26 – won epee gold and foil silver in the Category B events.
