Year 10 Boys’ Cricket Team

Congratulations to the Year 10 Boys’ Cricket Team who defeated Bury Grammar School (G.S.) in the first round of the English Schools’ Cricket Competition.

Bury G.S won the toss and opted to bat first which played into the hands of the Oulder Hill bowlers. Mohid Ul-Haq dismissed four of the Bury G.S batting line up for less than 20 runs with a fine spell of bowling. He was supported in the bowling attack by Thomas Booth, Marcus Welsby and Ben Whitehead who each took the remaining wickets.

Bury G.S were all out for 66 runs and Oulder Hill easily knocked off the runs required for victory with eight overs to spare. Thomas Booth retired not out on 30 runs and the other runs were achieved through the batting of Ben Whitehead and Danny Devine.

Well done to all the students involved: Ben Whitehead, Aadam Latif (Year 9), Emmerson Bradshaw, Hamza Ahmed (Year 11), Rayhan Iqbal, Marcus Welsby, Mohid Ul-Haq, Spencer Allen (Year 7), Lewis Midgley, Thomas Booth and Danny Devine.

Year 11 Boys’ Football Team

Well done to the Year 11 Boys’ Football Team, who finished their final season representing Oulder Hill in a very commendable second place.

Their final match, which finished 2-2, was a high quality game played by two excellent sides who conducted themselves fantastically throughout.

Whilst, as a result, the lads have been pipped to the title, the team spirit they showed and the obvious pride and commitment to representing our school for the final time was outstanding.

It has been a pleasure for Mr Armitage to work with this team for the last couple of years. Thank you to everyone who came up to support the lads.

The team in full was: Kian Dunease, Henry North, Ben Howarth, Will Moore, Kristian Kean, Dominic Boothman, Joe Wrest, Cameron Filkin, Jamie Ogden, Brandon Coughlan, Danny Cryer, Deary Rashid and Ibrahim Hussain.
