Congratulations everyone who participated in the events of last week.

3 inter-school competitions were run last week:

Year 9 Rugby League Boys, KS1&2 Emerging schools Cross Country and KS1&2 Cross Country.

These events were a major success with them being well attended and the level of competition being so high.

Wednesday 27th September saw the Year 9 Rugby League event take place at Waterhead Academy (Counthill Site), this had 5 schools in attendance including Radclyffe, Blue Coat, Failsworth, Royton& Crompton and Saddleworth. The competition standards were of a high level, with it being clear which players played for local teams outside of school. Closely fought matches saw Saddleworth being crowned champions with Failsworth and Royton& Crompton having a final match clash which would determine second and third, with the match finishing in a draw they shared second place and received silver medals each.

A wet and windy Friday arrived and the Emerging Schools Cross Country event at Stoneleigh park took place, it was great to see so many children from all over Oldham come to attend with new and old faces coming to participate. As it stands the Friday Cross Country league is as follows:

1st MAYFIELD 127 Points, 2nd CHRIST CHURCH DENSHAW 131 Points, 3rd ST.EDWARDS 168 Points, 4th St.JOSEPHS 218 Points

A day later it was Chadderton Hall Parks turn to stand up to the water and host the Cross Country event, with wind and rain battering the participants the day was a huge success. Due to a large number of participants everyone was able to participate and enjoy the day with heart-warming moments ad sportsmanship being shown throughout. Big thank you to Delph, Mills Hill, Royton Hall, Rushcroft, St Anne’s Royton, St Josephs, Thorp, St Matthews, Knowsley, Hulme, Werneth, Blackshaw Lane, Thornham St James and Crompton primary. The results and league standings for this league will be emailed out at a later date.
