York Fencing Club have been enjoying plenty of success thanks to a pair of real smart operators.
The Smart brothers, Marcus and Duncan, have been in razor sharp form and both have picked up notable victories.
Duncan defied a bout of tonsillitis to take the top prize in the Merlin League's Viking Shield competition, beating Sheffield's Steve Watson 15-5 in the final to take the title.
However, when the York club played their annual challenge match against German twin town Munster it was Marcus who stole the limelight.
He defeated brother Duncan on his way to becoming the York club's most successful fencer as he lost just one of his clashes in the epee section.
