OLDHAM RUFC will need to produce a top-drawer performance if they are to record their first win of the season in the North Lancs/Cumbria division at Wigton tomorrow.

While Oldham have lost their first two matches, the Cumbrian outfit are riding high after back-to-back victories, scoring 78 points and conceding only three in the process.

Oldham have received mixed news on the playing front. They are without Joe Hesse, John Hayes and Charlie Roscoe, but Paul Wardle, Ryan Jackson, Jamie Edwards and Phil Graham return.

First-team coach Lee Kemp will be hoping Oldham’s forwards can secure good ball to bring their dangerous backs into play.
