Date published: 23 October 2009
OLDHAM RUFC will be aiming to break their away-day duck in Cumbria tomorrow when they travel to Furness in North Lancs/Cumbria division.
After losing at Wigton and St Benedicts, Oldham will be striving not to come away empty handed for a third time.

Oldham have selection worries as pack-man Dean McEwan is ruled out for the season after fracturing his knee.
