Sedgefield Water Polo Club would like to highlight the success of one of our members. 15 year old Poppy Stephenson has just returned from her England debut in Brno, Czech Republic after playing for the U17 Girls’ EU Nations Squad.

England’s team won the bronze medal at the EU Nations after beating the hosts Czech Republic 8-3 in a dramatic final match. The sensational result sparked wild celebrations in Brno and sealed a podium finish for a talented and young team in their first ever international tournament.
