THE Saddleworth School senior basketball team defeated Failsworth 32-29 in overtime to secure the Oldham Schools’ under-16s title in dramatic style.

Ethan Buckley and Greg Simister scored the vital
three-point shots for Saddleworth that first forced the game into an extra period before they finally ended the resistance of a strong Failsworth outfit.
Radclyffe were placed third in the tournament which was staged at the Oldham Ball Hall.
