Crucial game for Oldham RUFC

OLDHAM RUFC have a crucial home game tomorrow (3pm) against Netherall in the North Lancs/Cumbria division.

The visitors are joint bottom of the table, without a point from eight games, while Oldham are only just ahead of them on four points, although they do have a match in hand.
