Moorside High School Year 10 Football Team Crowned Greater Manchester Plate Champions
Moorside High School Year 10 football team have been crowned Greater Manchester Plate Champions following a superb 4–0 victory over Coop Academy Walkden in the final on Wednesday 3 June 2026.
The team enjoyed an excellent run to the final, beating West Hill, Cheadle Hulme High School, Crompton House, Our Lady’s RC High School and Ashton-on-Mersey School along the way.
In the final, Moorside took control early, with Musa reacting quickest to open the scoring after Oliver’s effort was saved. George added a second before half-time with a composed finish to give Moorside a 2–0 lead.
The second half saw further goals, with Musa adding his second after a clever assist from Eddie, before George completed the scoring following a well-worked move involving Ralph and Musa to seal an emphatic win.
The victory was built on strong team discipline and defensive organisation, with the side keeping clean sheets in the quarter-final, semi-final and final - a standout achievement at Greater Manchester level.
This success reflects the hard work, commitment and teamwork shown throughout the season.
