YOUTH FOOTBAL:

FREE-FLOWING football, tense ties and brilliant battles all featured in the Oldham Schools Knockout Cup Finals.

Youngsters showcased their talent at the Lancaster Club, Failsworth, and the eagerly-anticipated action certainly didn’t disappoint.

There was double delight for Failsworth. Their Year Sevens saw off Blue Coat to win the final 3-1.

And over in the Year 10 category, they lifted the trophy after a nervy 3-2 victory at the expense of South Chadderton.

Elsewhere Radclyffe raced to victory in Year Eight, beating Counthill 6-0.

In another nail-biting affair Our Lady’s won 3-2 against Royton and Crompton in the Year Nines.

And it was North Chadderton’s day in the Year 11s.

They were confirmed top dogs in their age group following a narrow 2-1 triumph over Saddleworth.
