A Kent music teacher is to compete in the Underwater Hockey World Championships as part of the Great Britain squad.
Rona Wignall, 32, from Tunbridge Wells, flew with her team mates to the Netherlands last month to compete in the qualifying rounds.
Her team beat Spain 4-2 in the semi-finals before defeating South Africa 4-1 in the final – securing their place at the tournament in 2027.
Ms Wignall, who works at Radnor House Sevenoaks School, said: "It was such an amazing experience. There was no doubt in my mind once we started the comp that we would win."
