Great occasion but disappointing result.

Hulme 1stXI lost three two to North Chadderton in the final of the Oldham Schools Cup at Boundary Park. Despite taking an early lead, the goal coming from Jamie Paul, the 1st team failed to produce the quality of football they are capable of and on the night were out fought by a determined North Chadderton team.

The equaliser came ten minutes before half time and North Chadderton went in front five minutes after the restart. With twenty minutes left the situation got more difficult when Josh McConnell saw red in more ways than one and two minutes later Chadderton's lead was extended. Despite a bullet header by Daniel Orr, at his beloved Chaddy End, it was too little too late and North Chadderton were crowned Oldahm Schools Champions. Bradley Norcross was Hulme's man of the match, which was fitting for the player of the season.
