One they have to win

RUGBY UNION: OLDHAM RU face a must-win game at home to Burnley tomorrow (2.15) in the North Lancs/Cumbria division.

Third-from-bottom Oldham face the team immediately below them in the table and will be desperate to avoid a repeat of last season’s debacle against their Lancashire rivals.

Burnley arrived in similar circumstances but were allowed to run in six tries in the opening 20 minutes - a deficit Oldham could not peg back.

Oldham will be keen to make a brisk start this time as they seek their fourth win of the campaign.

Ross Cooper will have a late fitness test so Phil Graham comes into contention in an otherwise unchanged squad.
