Shipley College’s Esports students have proved they are a force to be reckoned with after an electrifying performance in a nationwide tournament, battling colleges from across the UK in Valorant and Rocket League.

In a tense and nail-biting showdown, they held their ground against fierce competition from the South, securing a dramatic victory that has now propelled them onto an even bigger stage.

Esports teacher Nathan Horton, a former FIFA pro, was full of praise for his team’s resilience under pressure:

"It was touch and go for a few minutes as the team worked hard against an onslaught from our rivals, but they used the skills they’ve honed here at Shipley College, and I was really proud of how they worked together to win the big prize. This is a great warm-up for what’s coming next—our biggest challenge yet!"

That challenge is now just around the corner, as Shipley College’s Esports team prepares to take on some of the UK’s most elite gaming squads in a massive national tournament on March 28th. This event, featuring top-level competition in Rocket League and Valorant, will be streamed live on Shipley College’s Twitch channel (shipley_college), giving fans a front-row seat to the action.

With special guest Jamboo (FIFA Pro with 100K+ YouTube subscribers) and Rainbow Six commentator Tim Leaver providing live insights, this showdown is set to be one of the most exciting Esports events of the year.

Shipley College is quickly becoming a powerhouse in Esports training, helping students develop elite gaming skills, teamwork, and strategy—essential qualities for success in the industry. With enrolments now open for 2025/26, aspiring Esports professionals have the chance to join a program that’s making a real impact in competitive gaming.
