2nd Team Result  28th Feb 2026 Embsay 1 - 5 Crosshills 2nds (AWAY)

The game started with intensity, and Embsay took an early lead with some well-worked play. This shook Crosshills, and they knew they had to dig in and respond…. And they did soon. Jordan Hough picked out Max Syroka, and he found space for a 20-yard thunderbolt to hit the back of the net. This woke up Crosshills, and then the hard work of Danny Driver, who was electric on the right wing all game, beat his man and whipped in a cross for Jack Hinks to make it 2-1. The game then swung, and Embsay were pushing for an equaliser, without some fine saves from Foulger and the rock at the back, Callum Creed, they would have scored a few. Crosshills soon made it 3-1 again with some fine play, and Jack Hinks was alert after a fine save from their keeper to tap in and make it 3-1 at halftime. Half time came, and Crosshills knew in the second half Embsay would be throwing everything at them, and for the next 20 minutes were pinned into their own half under the cosh. This game could have gone either way. Crosshills, on a rare break, found Danny Driver, who beat his man and, from around 30 yards, found the far top corner. With tired legs, hills made changes, and fresh legs inspired them to battle till the end. A late free kick from Jacko, seeing a gap in the wall and finding the corner to seal the win 5-1. A score line that didn’t reflect the game, in which it could have gone either way on the day.

A great team performance from everyone at Crosshills.

Player of the match went to Callum Creed at the back, who was outstanding, throwing his body on the line and didn’t stop all game. Hills win now sees them go 2nd again and with 2 games in hand are well placed to mount a serious title challenge to leaders and yesterday’s opponents Embsay

2nd Team Result  21st Feb 2026 Oxenhope  2-1 Crosshills 2nds (AWAY)

Oxenhope started the better and dominated the opening minutes and were 2 goals up benefitted by some poor defensive work by hills, as the half wore on the visitors came more into the game and eventually were rewarded by an excellent goal from the impressive MOTM Stanfield, 2-1 at HT, but the 2nd half belonged to hills as they strove for the equalizer and several chances went begging but like the 1st half they had a goal disallowed for offside which was plainly obvious to everyone that it was perfectly good goal, then a blatant penalty waved away, so it wasn’t to be hills day, but maybe on another day the refereeing decisions all from the centre circle will go our way.

Hills then took the lead with a great ball down the line from Scott Newton to Andy North who went on to cut it back for Lucas Creed to get his first of the game. After the HT break Hills were on top throughout pushing for some breathing space when Jack Hinks who was fantastic down the left all game made a powerful run to the byline and put a great ball in for Scott newton to send it back across the box where Lucas Creed was waiting again for a tap in for his second.

What a cracking contest between 2 evenly matched sides, the visitors with a youthful side played a very quick brand of pass and move, and were certainly a handful for the home side, The first half saw the visitors on top but the Hills lads dug in with Thompson & Jenkins game management keeping them in the contest, but a swift breakaway resulted in a well taken goal to put Oxenhope 1-0 up which they carried into the break, The 2nd half was now the opportunity for the Hills youngsters to show there potential with Rosser Hedges Syroka, & Creed all to the fore and it was Creed who brought Hills level with a smart finish, Wrigglesworth was also proving to be unplayable and was creating problems for the visitors and through his endeavors Hills should have secured the victory as he laid on two easy chances for team mates who found it easier to miss than score, overall it was a fair result in a game that neither side deserved to lose.

A very competitive and entertaining game enjoyed by everyone present, The home side were very much the better side in the opening 20 mins and went ahead from a well placed free kick, But Hills responded and pushed forward and pressed cowling back but were met by a very resolute & uncompromising home defence and some very lenient refereeing, Hills 1-0 down at HT came out in a determined mood and a thunderbolt from 25 yards by Madden brought them level, Hills were now playing possession football and looking likely winners, whereas the home team were relying on the long ball out of defence and eventually it paid off, as they grabbed the lead from that tactic with hills appealing for what looked “offside”The nail in the coffin for hills came towards the end with a mix up in defence and a mis hit shot looping into the top corner to give the “Cows” a flattering win, For Hills after several seasons out of the top flight there was a lot of positives to take from the game against a very well organised experienced  and physical side
