The British Fencing team for the World Championships in Catania, Italy, in October has been extended to include Jon Willis (Men’s Epee, individual) and a Women's Epee Team consisting of Corinna Lawrence, Sissi Albini, Jenny McGeever and Georgina Usher.
The enlarged team follows the recommendations of a British Fencing Appeal Panel, accepted at a meeting between Performance Manager Alex Newton with the British Fencing International Committee this week.
