RU men look for disciplined show

DISCIPLINE will be the name of the game when Oldham Rugby Union travel to Kirby Lonsdale tomorrow (2.15) for a tough test in the North Lancs/Cumbria Division.

Oldham have fallen foul of referees on previous visits to Cumbria and cannot afford to give needless penalties away against a strong Kirby Lonsdale side currently going well in third position in the table.

Ryan Jackson, who needs a shoulder operation, is unavailable so Jack Taylor steps in to an Oldham squad which is otherwise unchanged from the one which secured a much-needed win over Netherall last weekend.
