Union men seek repeat win
Date published: 09 January 2009
OLDHAM RUFC are back in action tomorrow after a three-week break - weather permitting - as they play hosts to Fleetwood in North Lancs/Cumbria division (2.15pm).
After winning 29-10 at Fleetwood earlier in the season, the Manor Park players will be looking for a repeat performance.
Prospects are enhanced by a side reinforced by the returns of pack players Chris Heptonstall, Steve Molloy and Joe Hesse along with scrum-half Peter Scrivens.
Colts player Jordan McEwan is also added to the squad as a reward for several good displays for the ‘A’ XV.
Adam Langley and Paddy Farnan are unavailable, though their losses are compensated for by the returns of the four other players.
