Roker Rangers U14s Future Legends Tournament Report!
With an early 8am start at Downhill Hub and just 11 players for a full 11 a side tournament, we knew today would be a real test… but what a day it turned out to be!
Ella, Lola, Lily M, Anna, Georgia, Sienna, Jasmyn, Connie, Lily, Matilda & Gracie were absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The team went unbeaten throughout the entire tournament, conceding just one goal across all games, an incredible achievement.
Group Stage Results:
• Roker 0–0 Hetton – A tight opener that set the tone.
• Roker 2–0 Seaham – Two brilliant goals from Gracie secured the win.
• Roker 3–0 Killingworth – Gracie added two more, with Matilda scoring a fantastic goal.
• Roker 1–0 Washington – A stunning “worldie” from Sienna sealed victory.
Semi-Final: Roker v Killingworth (1–1, won on penalties)
A tough match as expected, with Killingworth taking the lead. But the response was immense. Georgia powered in a header from a Jasmyn cross to level the score. Straight to penalties! Ella stepped up with two incredible saves, while Lily, Matilda, Georgia and Jaz all converted their penalties with confidence. Through to the final!
Final: Roker v Hetton (0–0, won on penalties)
With no subs, fatigue began to show, but the determination and focus never dropped. Ella was outstanding in goal, pulling off some fantastic saves to keep the game level. Once again, it came down to penalties. This time Gracie joined the takers, and all five penalties were expertly converted. Another crucial save from Ella… and that was it…

Every single player gave 110% today. The teamwork, encouragement, and link up play were a joy to watch. Even as energy levels dipped, the girls kept pushing, heads held high, never giving up.
A massive thank you to all the parents & family members for your support and encouragement throughout the day. It was also fantastic to see Jess and Joanne there supporting, even though Jess was unable to play. Your energy, cheering, and positivity made a huge difference, you all kept the girls going when it mattered most!
