Saddleworth school crowned champions

It's a clean sweep of Oldham Schools’ titles

The Saddleworth School Year 7 basketballers were crowned champions of Oldham to complete a clean sweep of Oldham Schools’ titles, following on  from the successes of the senior team, Year 9 and Year 8’s earlier in the academic year.

What made the achievement even more spectacular was that Saddleworth actually finished as winners AND runner’s up in the eight team tournament staged at the Sport For All Centre in Hollinwood.

With both teams unbeaten in the pool stage of the competition and coming through their respective semi-finals unscathed it was left to the yellow team to earn bragging rights over their maroon counterparts with a 11-4 triumph in the final match.

Harrison Cowan excelled for the maroons whilst Sam Reddish was the top scorer for the yellow outfit.
