Title: Lincolnshire’s Ellie Roebuck Plays Key Role in Lionesses’ Euro 2025 Semi-Final Triumph

Ellie Roebuck, hailing from Lincolnshire, played a key role in England’s dramatic win over Sweden in the Euro 2025 quarter-final, ensuring the Lionesses advanced to the semi-finals. The goalkeeper, who came from West Lindsey, demonstrated her exceptional skills during the tight match, perhaps most notably during the nerve-racking penalty shoot-out.
Senior defender, Lucy Bronze, urged her team for a ‘proper England’ performance, a phrase coined to capture their determined victory over the Netherlands following an initial challenging kick-off against France. Bronze underscored the national team’s evolution, with a balanced mix of seasoned professionals and emerging talent.
Part and parcel of Sarina Wiegman’s 23-player squad, Roebuck commented on the inspiration she draws from her formative years in Lincolnshire. “It’s an honour to play before a local audience and represent Lincolnshire on such an extensive platform,” she said.
Contributions from Roebuck have been pivotal for the Lionesses, whose success serves to motivate young footballers in Lincolnshire and further afield. Their achievements underline how commitment and passion can result in international success.
