Newham schoolgirl Jaspreet Sagoo took on former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour at an Olympic sport - and won.

The 15-year-old Langdon School pupil and the “Romford Pele” went head-to-head at Newham Archers in East Ham when they took part in a radio contest.

Every week on Talksport, Olympic gold medallist Tessa Sanderson hosts a programme called Tessa’s Tests where a top coach trains one of the radio presenters in an Olympic discipline and pits them against a young hopeful.

Jaspreet said: “He was trying to say ‘I’m better than you’ and trying to psyche me out. But it didn’t work because I shoot better under pressure.

“I was excited and nervous but it was great – and the best thing was Tessa told me I had been accepted into her academy. Now I can really aim for 2016.”

Despite the fact Jaspreet had a target a quarter of the size of Ray’s and was ten yards further away, she still hit the bullseye three times while Ray only managed to hit it twice.

Tessa said: “She has real potential and could go all the way.

“She loved the event, and we loved it, especially when she got the bullseye. She just blew me away.”

The Tessa Sanderson Foundation and Academy is a charity which helps talented young athletes with funding and advice so they can reach their sporting potential.
