World Cup fencing returns to Ipswich this weekend where the British round of the women's epee circuit will be held. The event regularly attracts the leading internationals and this year is no exception when the world champion Oksana Jermakova, from Estonia, attempts to fend off the defending champion and world No 2, Gianna Burki, from Switzerland, and the Hungarian Gyongyi Szalay, twice winner at Ipswich. Carol Greenway, the national champion, leads the British team who will have their own contest as places in the British squad for the World Championship in Athens this July are at stake.

How to get there: Northgate Sports Centre, Sidegate Lane West, Ipswich, Suffolk. The preliminary rounds start tomorrow at 1pm, continuing at 9.30am on Sunday, with the gala final at 1.30pm. Admission: pounds 1 adults, 50p children. (Tel: 0473-711211).
