2017 Results:
AFMA had the best result ever at a State Title Tournament. Our 24 students won 26 medals in total. We had the second biggest team there out of 30 clubs and came third on the overall medal tally. This is outstanding considering we had only one Senior and one Junior competing. Most of our medals came from our successful children and cadets competitors. It clearly shows, that AFMA is going from strength to strength!
