Head over heels with title joy

OLDHAM Schools under-14s have been crowned Greater Manchester Schools’ League champions — but they had to endure a tense finale against title rivals Bury.

The talented youngsters required a point from their last league game of the season to take top honours.

And, thanks to a nail-biting 2-2 draw, it was Paul Ogden’s side who were celebrating at the Lancaster Club.

It was a closely-fought contest between two evenly-balanced sides, but Bury needed to win to snatch the crown from under their hosts’ noses.

However, it was Oldham who broke the deadlock 10 minutes after half-time through Joe Cooper, of Saddleworth.

The visitors came back strongly and they drew level through Tommy Toth.

But the lead was shortlived as Oldham regained their narrow advantage courtesy of a Carlton McIntosh (South Chadderton) strike.

Bury, with nothing to lose, poured forward and were rewarded when Sam Smith restored parity with eight minutes to go.

But Oldham stood firm to claim the all-important point.

They are now setting their sights on completing the Greater Manchester Schools’ League double.

Already through to the last four of the Talbot Cup, they book their place in the final by beating home side Broughton on Saturday (kick-off 10.30am).

Oldham under-15s are also in action this weekend.

They take on Wigan in a Greater Manchester Schools’ League game at the Lancaster Club (10.30am).


THE Rochdale and Oldham Youth Football League are looking for teams to bolster two of next season’s age-groups.

There are vacancies at under-12s and under-14s (2009/10 age-groups) and teams interested should contact chairman Bridget Meehan on 07736887218 or email ROYFL@hotmail.co.uk
