Sedgefield Water Polo Club would like to congratulate Thomas Forrest, 13, who was one of 41 athletes who has recently returned from representing England U14’s in the Habawaba Spain International Tournament in Lloret de Mar, Spain. The event was the first time that Thomas, and many of his friends from the England Talent Centres, had travelled abroad to play polo for their country.
Thomas represented England Lions, who played six games during the tournament against teams such as France, Portugal, Spain and Andorra. The team came away in a very well deserved 11th place and gained very valuable international match experience and made new friends from across the country.
Thomas began his polo journey with us at the age of just 8 years old, before progressing to train with the North East Regional Academy and subsequently at England Talent Centre. His success is testament to the hard work he puts in at training under the guidance of a coaching team led by his elder brother, Adam Woods.
In addition to Junior and Senior sessions, Sedgefield Water Polo Club now offers a beginner session at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre on a Saturday afternoon for those wishing to try this fun and exciting sport. All sessions need to be booked in advance on our Club App, so please check our website for further information and joining instructions, email: sedgefieldwp@hotmail.com or contact 07579 030598.
