Jack on a high as Heyside triumph

RAISE A CHEER: Heyside Juniors under-nines ‘A’ (see picture) were spot-on to win the Curzon Ashton mini-soccer tournament.

The final, which pitted them against a strong Stalybridge Celtic side, ended goalless and so was decided by penalties.

’Keeper Jack Gartside was the shoot-out star, denying Celtic on three out of four occasions as Heyside won 2-1.

Schools Soccer

Under-14s sitting pretty

OLDHAM Schools under-14s lead the Greater Manchester Schools’ League table at the midway point of the season.

The youngsters have hit top form in 2008 and they remain unbeaten in the league after victories against Trafford, Wigan, Tameside and Salford and a 1-1 draw with Manchester.

That set of results has left them sitting pretty at the start of the New Year, with Bury trailing by a point in second place.

The under-14s, who resume their league programme with a trip to Bolton in two weeks’ time, are also in the last-eight of the Talbot Cup, where they face a home tie against Tameside.
