ROCS sway to Jackson’s five-star beat

CONGRATULATIONS go to ROCS FC under-14s, who have been crowned Oldham Girls League champions.

They clinched top honours in style thanks to an 11-1 win over Uppermill Rockettes.

Megan Jackson was the star of the show, scoring five times, while Lauren Steel helped herself to a hat-trick. Shona Ninian, Danielle Pickett and Amy Jones also added their names to the scoresheet.

Sarah Ryan scored twice as ROCS under-16s stormed back from 3-1 down with 10 minutes left to defeat OIdham Athletic Girls 4-3.

Faye Hardicre and Hayley Dawson got the other ROCS goals, while Ashlie Ball’s hat-trick was to no avail for Athletic.

Ellie Doggett scored for under-11s Inter, who drew 1-1 with Curzon Ashton.

A Sophie Holden strike was in vain as the under-12s lost 2-1 to Droylsden, and under-13s Inter were beaten 2-0 by Oldham Athletic Girls, for whom Lois Daniels and Keeley Scott scored in the League Cup game.

Under-13s Clarets had better luck against Rochdale Ladies as goals from Kelly Ward (two) and Beth Mellor earned their side a 3-0 success.

The under-16s, meanwhile, had to settle for a share of the spoils after a goalless draw with Uppermill Rockettes.
