🏆⚫🟡 Calderdale Champions! 🟡⚫🏆

A huge congratulations to our Year 10 Rounders Team, who were crowned Calderdale Rounders Champions last week after a fantastic afternoon of competition.

The team got off to a flying start with impressive victories over Calder and Rastrick, before a tense encounter with North Halifax. With the scores level going into the final ball, Sohana held her nerve and secured the winning half-rounder to seal a memorable victory.

The final challenge came against Rishworth, where another outstanding fielding display kept the opposition to just three rounders. Needing a result to secure the title, captain Clara stepped up with two brilliant rounders from two balls, supported by a crucial half-rounder from Harriet, to secure the win and the championship.

Throughout the competition, the team showed tremendous skill, teamwork, determination and composure under pressure. They represented Crossley Heath brilliantly and thoroughly deserved their success.

Congratulations to all involved on becoming Calderdale Champions 2026! 👏💜🏆

🚵‍♂️🏆✨ Mountain Biking Success for Miguel! ✨🏆🚵‍♂️

A huge congratulations to Miguel in Year 7, who achieved an excellent 3rd place finish in his age category at the North East Cross Country Mountain Bike Series last Friday.

Cross-country mountain biking is a demanding sport, with riders tackling challenging hills and mountainous terrain for around 20 minutes, requiring endurance, skill and determination. To finish on the podium is a fantastic achievement!

Miguel has been competing with Shibden Cycling Club through British Cycling events for several years and has already collected an impressive number of medals along the way.

We are incredibly proud of Miguel's dedication and success and look forward to hearing about many more achievements in the future. Well done, Miguel! 👏💜
