SEASON END 2025 -2026

1st Team Result  13th May 2026 Presidents Cup Final Crosshills 1-0 Oxenhope Development

The President’s Trophy Final went our way, but it was a tight affair; Oxenhope belied their league status with a performance that pushed Hills all the way

Hills had most of the possession, but our makeshift defence were put under pressure from the long-ball game from Oxenhope and their speedy strikers

As the half progressed, Hills were trying to get their passing game together, and eventually some great interplay between Cunningham, Stanfield & Conway resulted in a deep cross for Josh Page to head home the all-important goal

The 2nd half continued in the same vein, but Hills, like in the first half, were constantly denied by the Oxenhope keeper, who was outstanding and made a superb save from the Penalty spot to keep his team in the game

The superb save gave our opposition fresh impetus, and they threw everything at us in the last 15 minutes. With players tiring and injuries playing their part, we survived a few misses, and the post saved us in the last minute, and our name was on the cup

MOTM for Hills was our busy Bee in midfield, Joe McCormack, who covered every blade of grass

2nd Team Result  9th May 2026 Crosshills 2nds (HOME) 5-0 Waddington FC

The Hills 2nd team rounded off the season with an emphatic win, and with rivals Kelbrook losing, secured runners-up place and promotion to Division One

From the off, Hills were determined to give it a go and secure that 2nd place in the league, and the visitors' keeper was called upon several times before Hills took the lead through a powerful header from Josh Banks. The home side continued to press, and a hopeful cross-come shot from Andy North found its way into the corner of the net

Waddington kept plugging away and did have the ball in the net, but unfortunately deemed  a foul on Hills keeper,  and the very resourceful and tight-knit Hills defence kept them at bay for the rest of the half

At the break hills 2-0 up, but within 5 minutes of the 2nd half starting they had doubled their lead through 2 exquisite & precisely taken goals from Jordan Hough, and then Substitute Josh Knight made it 5 with a super finish into the top corner

With the game secure, Manager Dom Creed sent on more young legs in Heaton, Creed & Jones to see the team home

MOTM for Hills was Andy North, but there were good performances all over the field, from the experienced players to the younger ones

1st Team Result  1st May 2026 Cross Hills (HOME) Cross Hills 0-2 Burley T

In a game where the result for both teams didn’t really matter in the league standings, they put on a 1st half of quality, competitive football,

With little to choose between the sides, Hills missed an early penalty to take the initiative, but both had chances afterwards and failed to take them

0-0 at half-time, and the 2nd  half belonged to the visitors as their superior fitness showed, and they were rewarded with 2 goals. The first came from poor defending from Hills, and the 2nd from a deflection from a well-struck free kick. Hills did have opportunities late on but were unable to take advantage. Josh Page was Hills' MOTM, with Zac Conway also very prominent

2nd Team Result  30th April 2026 Crosshills 2nds (HOME)  3-2 Sutton FC Res

With both sides struggling to get a full team on the field, it was always going to be a close and tight game

Sutton started the better and a shock result  looked to be on the cards, especially when they went 2 goals up, but with half-time approaching, Hills managed to pull a goal back through a smart header from Jordan Hough

The 2nd half saw Hills come out more positive and, with a few positional changes, took the game to their visitors, and Matty Jackson was quick enough to outpace the Sutton rearguard to poke home an equaliser

The home side now had the momentum and were looking for that winning goal, and it arrived from Josh Banks to give the home side the 3 points and move into 2nd place in the league

MOTM for Hills was substitute Tom Storrie

1st Team Result  21st April 2026 Cononley 3-3 Crosshills (AWAY)

What a great game, played in a spirited and sporting way. With both sides mid-table and nothing to play for, we were treated to a goal fest

Cononley opened the scoring with probably the quickest goal of the season after 15 seconds ably helped by an hills defensive error,with that gift the home side were all over hills and the visitors endured a torrid time in the next 15 minutes and Cononley from their own box went the length of the field to net a 2nd and it looked like Hills were in for an heavy defeat

Hills rallied in the last 20 minutes of the half and started to get their game together, and the home keeper pulled off 2 spectacular saves, and they  also cleared off the line a couple of times, but Hills were not to be denied, and our man of many positions Max Syroka muscled his way in to score Hills' opener

2-1 at HT, and Hills continued in the same vein after the interval and were level after a pinpoint ball from Scott Newton found the head of Josh Page for 2-2

Hills continued to push but were susceptible to the home team on the break, and Cononley accepted such a chance to go 3-2 up, and the game looked theirs, but Hills' “never give up” attitude surfaced, and MOTM James Rosser leveled the score for the visitors and a deserved share of the points

Hills had great performers all over the field, but the young legs of  Syroka, McCormack,Reay, Rosser, Kerry gave hills the impetus and determination to come away with a draw

1st Team Result  28th April 2026 Presidents Trophy Skipton T 2-4 Crosshills (AWAY) 

Hills progressed to the final of the Presidents Trophy and snuffed out Town's dream of a hat-trick of Finals

But it was a hard-fought victory for an injury-hit Hills, as 4 more players picked up knocks and put them in doubt for the final

The first half was fairly even and it was the home side who took the lead with a half-hit shot into the corner that the “Crocked” Hills keeper was unable to get to. Hills had more of the ball, and it only seemed a matter of time before they would score, and eventually it was through a penalty from Zac Conway,

The half ended 1-1, but early in the 2nd half, Skipton went in front after a goalmouth scramble, and Skipton, with their composed and intricate passing game, were dreaming of the final. But Hills never gave up and started to dominate, and within 15 minutes, goals from Sam Stanfield & 2 from Josh Page wrapped the game up for the visitors

MOTM for Hills was Zac Conway, but also impressing were Joe McCormack, Scott Newton, and Danny McNulty

2nd Team Result  22nd April 2026 Crosshills 2nds (HOME) 0-1 Cononley 2nds

Sucker punch is the only way you can sum this up, with the visitors grabbing a last-minute winner

After an even first half in which both sides cancelled each other out

the 2nd half saw Hills up their game, but the visiting keeper made some good saves, and Cononley weathered a series of corners to eventually score the late winner

The last 3 games have seen us go from genuine title contenders to a probable 3rd place finish, which is very disappointing for everyone, but we have 2 games left to bounce back. UTH !!!

1st Team Result  18th April 2026 Cup Match Silsden WS 1st 7-0 Cross Hills (AWAY)

Not our day yesterday in the Keighley Cup. In what was always going to be a difficult task, an understrength Hills side gave a good first-half performance but went into the break 2 down

In the 2nd half, White Star showed superior fitness and sharpness in front of goal, and as Hills tired in the last 20 mins, the home side ran in a further 5 goals

2nd Team Result  18th April 2026 Cup Match Kelbrook 2-0 Crosshills 2nds (AWAY)

Unfortunately, the game was brought to a premature end with a serious injury to a Kelbrook player and our best wishes from all at Crosshills go to him and wish him a full recovery

With an understrength side due to injuries, work and unavailability, it was always going to be a tough ask for Hills, but the Hills gave a tremendous first-half performance, scrapping & battling for every ball, and with Creed, Newton, Bentham, North and Hough showing up well and encouraging the youngsters, the 1st half ended all square 0-0

The 2nd half started badly for the visitors, as Kelbrook upped the tempo and went a goal up very quickly, but Hills did have their moments but fluffed their opportunities, and then the home side capitalized on a breakdown in attack by Hills and grabbed a 2nd goal

With 15 minutes remaining, though, the game was brought to an end by the unfortunate injury, and we now await the decision from the league as to whether the result stands or we have a replay

MOTM for Hills was Kenzie Deasey  

1st Team Result  18th April 2026 Presidents Cup  Crosshills (HOME) 4-0 Hellifield

Hills progressed to the SemiFinal through a comfortable victory, The home side started well and had the visitors on the back foot and it came as no surprise when a cross come shot by Danny Driver eluded the Hellifield keeper to open the hills account, shortly after Sam Stanfield was in place to power home a 2nd, and as hills kept the pressure on they were rewarded with penalty for hand ball and Zac Conway converted to put the visitors slender hopes of a comeback to bed

With a 3-0 lead at HT, Manager Knowles rang the changes with several substitutions and lost a little momentum even though they controlled the game. Driver eventually did notch his 2nd and Hills' 4th to see the home side home

MOTM for Hills was Sam Maude, who was at the heart of everything, but he was ably backed up by every player in the squad

2nd Team Result  16th April 2026 Crosshills 2nds (HOME) 2-2 Kelbrook

Kelbrook looked the better side from the first whistle as they were into their stride very quickly. The pacy Kelbrook forwards were proving a real handful for the home rearguard, and Foulger in the home nets produced a wonder save to keep it level, not for long though, as the visitors carved their way through to take the lead

Hills did bounce back though when a clumsy challenge allowed Jordan Hough to make it 1-1 from the penalty spot

Kelbrook continued in the same vein and, after a goalmouth scramble and some poor defending, the visitors made it 2-1

Kelbrook had chances early in the 2nd half to put the game to bed but were wasteful, and Hills saw their opportunity and this side are a dogged and determined lot and pushed their way back into the match, and in the last 20 mins got on top as they searched for an equalizer

Veteran Luke Newton was introduced down the left, and he teased and tormented them as he continually put in dangerous crosses and at last Josh Bankes was there to grab the all-important goal 2-2, and leave both sides with a point apiece and both still fighting for that 2nd place

MOTM for Hills  was Andy North, but the real game changer for Hills was Luke Newton

1st Team Result  11th April 2026 Presidents Cup  Crosshills (HOME) 4-0 Hellifield

Hills progressed to the SemiFinal through a comfortable victory, The home side started well and had the visitors on the back foot and it came as no surprise when a cross come shot by Danny Driver eluded the Hellifield keeper to open the hills account, shortly after Sam Stanfield was in place to power home a 2nd, and as hills kept the pressure on they were rewarded with penalty for hand ball and Zac Conway converted to put the visitors slender hopes of a comeback to bed

With a 3-0 lead at HT, Manager Knowles rang the changes with several substitutions and lost a little momentum even though they controlled the game. Driver eventually did notch his 2nd and Hills' 4th to see the home side home

MOTM for Hills was Sam Maude, who was at the heart of everything, but he was ably backed up by every player in the squad

1st Team Result  13th April 2026 Crosshills 0-3 Cowling

Cowling kept up their title challenge at our expense last night, and the main difference was that the visitors accepted the goal chances that were offered quite easily

The Cows started the better and looked very threatening, but just as Hills were beginning to get a foothold in the game a miss kick allowed a free run in on goal to give cowling the lead, Hills then went 2 behind as they gifted them another with a defensive mix up

2 down at HT and struggling to find their form, the Hills made some tactical changes, and late arrival Denton was introduced to their defence, and Storrie moved into a more forward position, and the home side began to put some better football together

Hills pushed the Cows back and dominated possession, but the final ball was just missing, and some half chances went begging

Cowling looked dangerous on the break and wrapped up the game late on from one such break when Hills conceded a penalty to give the visitors a flattering but deserved 3-0 victory

Hills MOTM was Ellis Denton

1st Team Result  11th April 2026 Presidents Cup  Crosshills (HOME) 4-0 Hellifield

Hills progressed to the SemiFinal through a comfortable victory, The home side started well and had the visitors on the back foot and it came as no surprise when a cross come shot by Danny Driver eluded the Hellifield keeper to open the hills account, shortly after Sam Stanfield was in place to power home a 2nd, and as hills kept the pressure on they were rewarded with penalty for hand ball and Zac Conway converted to put the visitors slender hopes of a comeback to bed

With a 3-0 lead at HT, Manager Knowles rang the changes with several substitutions and lost a little momentum even though they controlled the game. Driver eventually did notch his 2nd and Hills' 4th to see the home side home

MOTM for Hills was Sam Maude, who was at the heart of everything, but he was ably backed up by every player in the squad

2nd Team Result  7th April 2026 Crosshills 2nds 1-1 Barlick Wanderers

Not the result we wanted and probably lost the chance of winning the league, but there’s still 2nd place and promotion to play for in the remaining games

The 1st half was fairly even, with both sides having a good share of the ball. Hills did have the better chances and should really have been 3 goals to the good; unfortunately, the half ended all square at 0-0.The 2nd half started badly for Hills as they conceded a hotly disputed penalty given by the very young and inexperienced referee, but from that point it was all Crosshills as they constantly bombarded the Barlick goal, and eventually Max Syroka was on hand to blast the ball home to level the scores

What a performance the Barlick lads gave in the rest of the half as they defended in numbers and blocked numerous shots and threw themselves into tackles as they defiantly hung on for the point

Hills did manage to get the ball in the net, again from MOTM Max Syroka, but were denied by yet another inexplicable decision from the referee,                

Overall, it was a frustrating night for players and spectators alike as Hills met a very resolute Barlick side

1st Team Result  4th April 2026 Crosshills 10-0 Silsden White Star Reserves

Crosshills came into the game determined to put Thursday night behind them — and they did just that in style.

A strong start saw us hit the net three times in the opening 15 minutes, setting the tone early. The momentum didn’t drop, and we went into halftime with an 8–0 lead.

Credit to White Star, who showed great character and never gave up, putting in a much improved second-half performance. We added a couple more to round things off, with the game finishing 10–0.

A solid response and a great team performance all around.

Scorers for Hills were

Stanfield 5, and 1 each for Conway, Driver, Banks

Rosser, and MOTM Denton

1st Team Result  2nd April 2026 Silsden WS Res 2-2 Cross Hills (AWAY)

Hills started the game in a confident way and and were soon creating chances but several chances went begging due to poor finishing and good goalkeeping by the 16yr old white star keeper, Eventually Zac Conway managed to put hills ahead practically walking the ball into the net, with constant pressure it looked like it wouldn’t be long before hills would increase the score,but white star served up a shock equalizer and from a disputed free kick hills conceded a penalty and minutes later the home side took the lead with a shot through several defenders eluding the hills keeper, 2-1 at HT to the white star, but the 2nd half saw hills banging on the home door but resolute defence & every attempt at goal seemed to be straight into the home keeper’s hands or on 3 occasions the post rescued them,but at last hills got rewarded for their constant pressure and from the penalty spot Zac Conway made it all square, MOTM was shared by James Rosser who was outstanding in the 1st half as was Ellis Denton in the 2nd

The overall performance from Hills was sluggish, but they get a chance to put this behind them when they meet White Star again on Saturday

2nd Team Result  31st March 2026 Sutton 2nds 1-3 Crosshills (AWAY)

Our 1st midweek fixture of 2026 and needing 3 points to keep the pressure on the league leaders and a full strength squad things started off well for hills who was creating chances for fun and applying pressure from the Off, But It took 30 minutes to break Sutton down to register on the scoreboard craig donegan tapped into an empty net to give hills a 1-0 lead at half time, The 2nd half started very much the same constant pressure from hills before Andrew North slotted home on the 50th minute, hills searching to put the game to bed and secure all 3 points Jordan Hough made it 3-0 on the 60th minute. Hills did have more chances but squandered their opportunities

Sutton did pull 1 back on the 69th minute.In the last 20 minutes, Hills had to dig deep and defend with everything they had left in the tank to secure a vital 3 points. With keeper Chris Emmott making one outstanding save to keep Hills' grip on the game

Man of the match was Lee Thompson, who was solid and instrumental in Central midfield, with youngsters Syroka, Kerry & Deasey also having  good performances

2nd Team Result  28th March 2026 Cross Hills 2nds (AWAY) 7-2 Skipton town 2nds. 

Hills 2nd team hosted this fixture at Steeton’s Summerhill Lane pitch and were seeking to avenge the defeat from earlier in the season. Hills got off to a good start, going ahead early from Andy North's first of his hat-trick. Hills were well on top, keeping the ball well with the experience of Lee Thompson and Craig Bentham in the middle of the park, with Lee walking his first goal into the empty net from a clash between Wrigglesworth and the Skipton keeper. 

The goals started to come fast then, with Bentham picking out Andy North for his second of the afternoon. And Jordan Hough with a great touch and turn and finish to get on the scoresheet.

Into the second half, and Hills were reduced to 10 men after a verbal disagreement with the referee, but they responded positively and went on to score 3 more goals. Lee Thompson and Andy North both got 1 more each with powerful headers. The final goal went to Matty Jackson with a calm finish when through 1 on 1 with the keeper.

MOTM  went to Max Syroka, who played in a different position today but was brilliant again.

Another great team performance, with Hills needing to keep the winning run going to catch up with the games in hand.

1st Team Result  28th March 2026 Cross Hills (HOME) 2-2 Grassington Utd

What a game we saw yesterday it had everything with neither side holding back, The visitors showed their quality early on pressing hills back but resolute defending and good keeping by Smith kept them at bay, Eventually hills came back into it and started to cause problems for the dalesmen, They thought they had taken the lead when Grassington scored an OG but inexplicably the referee disallowed it for offside both sides had further  chances and with the half nearly over Grassington grabbed the lead to go in at HT 1-0, Hills came out fired up and pushed their opponents onto the back foot, but they were very quick on the break and Smith in the Hills goal had to make several top class saves to keep the home side in the game, But the homesters in the space of minutes changed the game through 2 goals from Zac Conway, one from the penalty spot and the other following up a tremendous volley from Gav Shearer that the keeper was unable to hold, As the game went into the final minutes, Hills were put under severe pressure and McNulty,Banks,Muir & Page were outstanding in their defensive duties,but it was all undone when the referee awarded a penalty for an offence outside the box so the game ended all square and probably a fair reflection on the game, But every player gave 100% especially Hills MOTM Sam Smith

1st Team Result  21st March 2026 Cross Hills (Home) 7-2 FC Keighley

The hills cruised to an easier win than expected in the district cup, with a stretched squad and players playing with injuries and manager Knowles on the bench it was a surprisingly good performance, from the start Keighley went toe to toe in the opening exchanges and it took a while for the home side to get into their stride, but with Conway Driver and Stanfield providing pace up front the Keighley defence eventually conceded and hills virtually won the game by scoring 3 unanswered goals to lead 3-0 at the break, The 2nd half was very much the same with Hills in control though Keighley did manage to get on the scoresheet with a well taken goal and another through a defensive mistake, but Hills comfortably notched another 4 goals, scorers for hills we’re Stanfield (2) Driver(2) Rosser(2) & McNulty & MOTM for  hills was James Rosser

2nd Team Result  21st March 2026 Cowling Res 3 - 4 Cross Hills 2nds (AWAY)

Xhills started the game brightly, playing some beautiful football and applying early pressure. It wasn't long before Xhills were in front on 11minutes with a goal from Jack Wrigglesworth, which soon became 2 when Jackos sublime finish found the back of the net 2-0 Xhills on 24minutes.

Things were about to change when Cowling was awarded a penalty on 30 minutes; they converted, 2-1. This was followed by an equaliser 3 minutes later; a bad 10 minutes for Hills. Hills started applying the pressure again, and in the 40th minute debutant Josh Banks scored his 1st goal for the club 3-2 Hills.

Half time 3-2 xhills.

2nd half started poorly for XHills, who conceded an equaliser 60 seconds into the end half. Both teams pushed to gain the upper hand, and Cowling was awarded the 2nd penalty of the afternoon on 50 minutes. Hills keeper Chris Emmott dived low to his left and saved the penalty. Chances came and went for Hills, but finally on the 75th minute Josh Knights slotted the ball home to make the score 4-3 Hills.

Man of the match could have gone to 3 lads today; the final choice went to Lee Thompson in the middle of the park,

A vital 3 points as we continue to keep pushing on for the league title.

1st Team Result  14th March 2026 Rolls FC 4-2 Cross Hills (AWAY) 

 Not the best day for XHills, as they turned up with a first-half performance to forget, and although several players were missing, the performance just wasn’t there as they went 3-0 down. The second half was better as Xhills woke up and soon got a goal back from man of the match Storrie. The comeback dream was ruined soon after as the referee missed a clear offside decision to make it 4-1. Xhills carried on the fight to get a late goal by Conway, but the game finished 4-2. A day to forget for Hills 

2nd Team Result League Cup 14th March 2026 Cross Hills 2nds (Home) 4-3 Addingham Reserves

We were treated to a game full of goals and missed chances from both sides, “Dingham” played well above their league position in this cup game and deservedly took the lead and then hung in there as Hills upped the tempo but were guilty of some woeful finishing as several easy chances went begging eventually Andy North brought the home team level to go into the break 1-1, The start of the 2nd half again saw the home side go behind but they rallied for Max Syroka to equalise and with the home side now having the greater possession it wasn’t long before Josh Knight used his pace to put hills in front with a well taken goal, Addingham though showing great fight shocked the home side when they capitalized on a defensive error to make it 3-3,With the home side now struggling with injuries and down to the bare bones one last effort was needed and it came from Jordan Hough who was the match winner to give Hills a narrow 4-3 win and progress to the next round, MOTM for hills was Andy North who worked tirelessly for the Hills, Newton Hedges and Whitehead all gave solid performances, but both sides have to be applauded for their efforts on a very heavy and sticky ground

1st Team Result  28th Feb 2026 Cross Hills (Home) 4-0 Sutton FC

Xhills were back in action after a lengthy time off due to the weather and were quickly off the mark with a nicely placed strike by Josh Page. In the first half, Xhills continued to dominate the game, and Sam Stanfield rounded the keeper to make it 2-0; he then followed up with a diving header to silence the away supporters to lead 3-0 at half time.

The second half saw XHills see out the game comfortably and soon made it 4-0 through Zac Conway.

Xhills then made the changes to control the game, with the pitch becoming hard to play on; Gavin Shearer still made time for some showboating and an audacious cruyff turn.

A great return for Crosshills as they aim for a good second half of the season, MOTM for Hills was Tom Storrie

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.

1st Team Result 17th Jan 2025 Clayton Alb 2-2 Crosshills (AWAY)                     

Cross Hills entered the game after the Christmas period with high hopes of securing three points on the road at Clayton. From the opening whistle, however, it was clear they were up against a very dogged Clayton side.

Clayton took the lead after 20 minutes and soon extended their advantage, capitalising on a long ball played through from the goalkeeper. 2-0 at HT to the home side

In the second half, Cross Hills emerged with renewed vigour and were rewarded when McNulty delivered a well-placed free kick. The goal sparked life into the visitors, and they soon found the equaliser through Page, whose towering header brought Cross Hills level. Hills could and should have taken home the points but failed from the penalty spot in the final moments, but it was a an hard earned, deserved point from an understrength Hills side against an improving Clayton side who are now finding their feet in the league. MOTM for the hills was Captain Danny McNulty

2nd Team Result 17th Jan 2025 (Keighley Cup) Crosshills 2nds (HOME)  2-5 Oxenhope Development

This semi final of the Keighley cup didn’t work out how we expected, having only lost once this season confidence was high, but not having played for 8 weeks the 1st half was a nightmare for the understrength Hills as the visitors took control and took the lead, the home side then gifted a 2nd to them, 2-0 at HT and Hills came out with more determination and from a Newton Free kick Max Syroka powerfully headed home to half the deficit, but an unforced error resulted in Oxenhope restoring their 2 goal advantage, Hills were still not down yet and Syroka was on hand to smash home to reduce the deficit to one, But hills were then undone again when their opponents capitalized on a blatant offside and the referee allowed them to run unopposed to score,that was the game over in respect of any chance of a come back and Oxenhope put the icing on the cake with a fifth goal in the final minutes. The pick  of the players for Hills was Max Syroka,but overall it was a performance that reflected in not having played since mid November

2nd Team Result 22nd Nov Crosshills 2nds (HOME)  8-0 Addingham Res 

Crosshills played host to Addingham in a game that hills had win to keep pushing this season. They started brightly and soon took the lead through Jordan Hough. Hough had his scoring boots on and soon it was 3-0 with Hough completing an early hat trick with some calm finishing. Hills kept pushing and it was 5-0 at half time, with Hough claiming 4, and Josh knight tapping home the rebound after the impressive Bobby Kerry had beat 3 players to hit the post. Half time and hills came out hungry for more, Hough soon had his 5th of the afternoon after beating the offside trap to round the keeper. It was soon 7 when Harry Kaminski burst through and kept his calm to place it past the keeper. It was wrapped up at 8-0 When Northy followed up on an effort to tap in. A comfortable afternoon for Hills, who could have scored more. Great to have Callum Creed back in the squad who was calm and creating from the back and the youngster Bobby Kerry who was outstanding up and down the Right wing all day. Player of the match Jordan Hough, who finished with 5 goals.

1st Team Result 22nd Nov 2025 Colne Utd 0-1 Crosshills (AWAY)

In a game that Hills dominated for most of it, ended up in a narrow win for the visitors, the 1st half was very much give and take with both sides having opportunities, Hills came the closest to scoring with a Danny driver free kick hitting the post, but all square at 0-0 at HT, Hills took the game to the home team in the 2nd half and took control with Storrie the driving force, and youngsters Cunningham, Reay,Rosser, & McCormack very much to the fore, and it was Joe McCormack who grabbed the winning goal with a stunning strike from 25 yards, Hills continued to dominate proceedings but wasted several opportunities to increase their lead with the Colne keeper pulling off some outstanding saves to deny the Hills MOTM was Huey Cunningham but McCormack pushed him close and Driver, Conway, & Storrie, were also very influential in breaking our Duck on the Colne plastic & coming home with the points

2nd Team Result 8th Nov 2025 Cononley 2nds 2-4 Crosshills 2nds (AWAY)

Hills 2nd team made the short trip to Cononley for a fixture with a lot of history between these 2 local rivals hoping to get 3 points to keep the push for the league title in their hands.

Hills started the better side but fell behind with Cononleys first attack. There was an immediate reply when Andy North hit a 25 yard shot that hit the bar and only just bounced over the line on its way down. 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.

Hills made 3 changes and one of them got on the scoresheet, Harry Kaminski with a tidy finish using his pace from a defence splitting through ball from Andy North. Cononley got a consolation to make it 4-2 late on.

Big shout out to MOM Max Syroka who was brilliant again in the middle of the park for hills. He dominated that midfield from start to finish using his strength and showing great technically ability.

Another great team performance with quite a few ‘regulars’ missing that now puts Hills 2nds 2 points behind the leaders Embsay with a game in hand.

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.
