Date published: 16 May 2016
The winning students
Hopwood Hall College hosted the 2016 Greater Manchester Colleges Group Games last week and won for the second year running.
After a day of events - fitness, coaching, current affairs in sport, multi-sports and crossfit - at the Middleton campus, Hopwood Hall College was crowned overall winner with second place going to Salford City College and third place to Trafford College.
WBA Lightweight World Boxing Champion and ex-Hopwood Hall College sport Student Anthony Crolla handed out the prizes.
Centre Director for Sport and Public Services Terry Morley said: “This was a fantastic event and even more rewarding winning it again for the second year.
“The level of ability and fitness was amazing.
“The learners from the colleges were an absolute credit to their tutors and did themselves proud. They were all smart, polite and most of all, displayed excellent sportsmanship throughout all the events.
“It is a real honour to watch this much talent coming through our doors and see them begin to follow in the footsteps of some of our amazing ex-students, such as Anthony Crolla.”
