Tranmere Rovers, represented by Higher Bebbington Junior School, won the 2025 Utilita Kids Cup in dramatic fashion at Wembley, winning 1-2 against Cheltenham Town, represented by Longlevens Junior School.

The game was lively from the off with Rovers taking the lead after a scramble in the Cheltenham box saw that ball fall to Ethan Parker, who powered it past the goalkeeper and into the net.

Lonlevens Junior School didn't give up, though, with two incredible saves by Tranmere goalkeeper Billy Hargreaves-McGee denying them a chance to get back into the game.]

Despite this, Parker soon completed his brace with a cool finish under pressure after being put through on goal by one of his teammates.

They eventually halved the deficit thanks to a strike from their number 9, Hugo Jones, and pushed right up until the final whistle to find the equaliser and force a penalty shootout.

But it was ultimately Tranmere's day as they climbed up to the Wembley royal box to lift the cup!
