2010 has been yet another successful year so far for the Keighley Cougars Development Team in the world's largest rugby league knock-out competition, Champion Schools.Champion schools is open to every secondary school in England, Wales and Scotland and this year have had a total of 1678 team taking part.
Over the past few years Keighley schools have made it to the finals which are held down in London and this year is no different. With both Settle Middle school year 7's and Settle College year 10's making it down to the finals.
Both teams will play Castleford High School in their respective age groups on Friday 27th August and will be parading around Wembley before the Challenge Cup Final the following day.
Jeremy Crowther part of the Keighley Cougars Development Team said "This is another fantastic achievement for the girls at Settle following on from their massive success last year when their year 8 team were champions and their year 10s runners up."
Much of the credit must go to Mark Glover, Alison Balsamini and Anthony Shepherd, all the teachers at the schools who have put in countless hours turning Settle into a hot bed of rugby league.
