Ellie Nicholls has won the DSSL Group Golden Boot award for her 16 competitive goals in the 2025/26 campaign at @SUFCRootsHall’s End of Season Awards night.
Of course, those 16 goals don’t include THAT Roots Hall hat-trick on Saturday.
Congratulations Ellie!

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW 🎙️🦐
Earlier this week on The Custard Splat we sat down with Southend United Ladies Manager Nick Sheldrick alongside Abbey Dell and Lauren Johnson ahead of a huge moment for the Ladies Club.
For the first time, @SouthendUtdLFC will play at Roots Hall.
It’s a chance to put the women’s side firmly on the map.
A chance to show what this team is building.
A chance to show that a club the size of Southend United, in a city the size of Southend, SHOULD have a women’s side capable of becoming a huge part of the football club moving forward.
Nick speaks brilliantly about standards, ambition and the long-term vision for the women’s setup, while Abbey and Lauren give a real insight into what it means to represent Southend United going into a match like this at Roots Hall.
There’s a real feeling that this could be the start of something bigger.
