Captain Rogers reflects on Great Britain at the 2025 World Water Polo Championships, “we are going to get better and better!” - July 22, 2025
After beating France for a second time in Singapore and finishing 11th at the World Championships, Great Britain captain and player of the match Kathy Rogers commented, “We came in, we met our goal. We really wanted to be in the top 12 at least and meet the level we did last time.
“Every player has grown, which was another goal of ours. It was important for us to come back from the Japan game strong because that was a really hard loss to take and we did that, so I’m really proud of the team.
“There’s going to be a really good future. It’s going to be really big. We’re getting more support from Swim England and Aquatics GB, so it’s a really exciting time. We have had only two-and-a-half years worth of a programme, so we’re going to get better and better.
“The team came out super strong today. We stuck to our plan and I’m really proud of all the girls. It’s such an amazing way to finish the tournament – stronger than we started.
“We’ve had some real highs and lows here, so it’s incredible to finish like that.
“We know France pretty well. We also did two preparation camps with them before the draw came out.
“We just knew that we had to go out there and play our game. We knew how they played, so we just had to stick to our game plan.
“Today, we did the little things better, like we got the ball a bit deeper, we set our wings deeper, the centre forward did the extra spin, we took the extra seconds on man up.
“It was just the little things that we had worked on throughout preparation and throughout this tournament that we did to get there.”
