What an exceptional week it has been for sports in Lincolnshire! Not often does our locally cultivated talent take the limelight. This week, however, saw a complete shift in the game. Ellie Roebuck, a homegrown sportswoman, played an instrumental role in the Lionesses’ remarkable semi-final victory in Euro 2025. The success of the Lionesses, determined by a nail-biting penalty shoot-out, has unmistakably placed Lincolnshire on the athletic map. Ellie’s performance has given us abundant reason to rejoice.
Closer home, Imps’ manager Michael Skubala has been meticulously planning and stressing on the need for adaptability in their quest for a new left-back to fill in for Sean Roughan. It seems quite clear that the Imps are gearing up to change and overcome obstacles in the upcoming season. This signals exhilarating times ahead for the devotees of Lincoln City.
Meanwhile, triumph echoed in the realm of British Bare Knuckle Boxing, as Nick Bass from Grimsby snatched the English Lightweight title from Hull’s Ryan Spivey at the Connexin Live event. This gripping accomplishment has reinforced Lincolnshire’s stature in the competitive sports field, asserting that our talents go beyond football.
To suggest that, between the football pitch to the boxing ring, the sports scene in Lincolnshire has been abuzz with victories and transitions would not be an exaggeration. Our local teams and athletes have been brimming with enthusiasm, and signalling a vivid future for sports in our neighbourhood. The past week has demonstrated that Lincolnshire is teeming with athletic prowess, with a plethora of exhilarating moments to anticipate in the coming months. Here’s a toast to our local heroes who are making us proud and keeping the sporting spirit vibrant in Lincolnshire!
