Ken Rose, head coach at West Fife Fencing Club, has been nominated for the Sunday Record’s Sports Coach of the Year Award. The nomination is in recognition of Ken’s hard work and success as a coach, which has seen him produce 147 Scottish champions and 15 British champions, using the modest setting of a school dining hall in which to train his fencers.

British Fencing would like to congratulate Ken on his much-deserved nomination and wish him the very best of luck when the results are announced.
