Oldham in Rams defeat

Joe Burke . . . one of two Oldham try-scorers in defeat

Dewsbury Rams 46, Oldham RL 10

TRIES by replacement Joe Burke and Jamel Chisholm, plus a Steve Roper goal, was all Oldham had to show in a heavy loss at Dewsbury Rams in the Kingstone Press Championship.

Second-bottom Roughyeds had a mountain to climb at half-time after conceding 22 unanswered points in the opening 40 minutes at the Tetley's Stadium.

The hosts ran in seven tries in total, including a hat-trick from Andy Kain, while Paul Sykes was imperious with the boot as he kicked nine goals.

Dalton Grant, Dom Speakman, Jason Crookes and Etuate Uaisele also went in for Rams.
