Earlier this week, one of Thurrock’s very own helped the Lionesses roar into the Euro 2025 final.
Michelle Agyemang, born in South Ockendon, and a former Holy Cross Catholic Primary School pupil, scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in the semi-finals against Italy. England then went on to clinch the victory in the final minute of extra time.
The Lionesses will now take on World Cup Winners, Spain, at 5pm on Sunday 27 July in their bid to win a second consecutive European Championship.
If you’re looking for somewhere to support Michelle and the rest of the team, there’s plenty of venues you can cheer them on:

Aveley Football Club will be showing the game in its main bar at Parkside, Park Lane, Aveley, RM15 4PX.

There are plenty of venues in our borough, including pubs, that will be showing the game.
Some of the venues will require you to book a table so make sure to look on Google or check with the venue ahead of arriving to avoid disappointment.
