CROMPTON House enjoyed double joy at the Oldham Schools FA League play-off finals at Boundary Park — but they were denied a four-timer.
The Year Eights team were comprehensive 4-1 winners over Saddleworth, while the Year Nines defeated Radclyffe 3-1.
The school also reached the final of the Year Sevens competition, but they lost 2-0 to Crompton and Royton.
And they were no match for an impressive South Chadderton side who recorded a stunning 6-1 victory.
Our Lady’s won the Year 11s final. In a tight game, they edged out Failsworth Sports College 2-1.

Year Nines: Radclyffe 1, Crompton House 3.
Year 10s: South Chadderton 6, Crompton House 1.
