Cumbrian test for RU men

OLDHAM RU travel to Maryport, Cumbria, to take on struggling Netherall in North Lancs/Cumbria division tomorrow.

Netherall look destined for one of the three relegation places and were beaten 40-7 at Manor Park earlier in the season.

However, the score was only 13-7 in Oldham’s favour at half time in that match and they must avoid the indiscipline which has resulted in costly sin-binnings recently.

Paddy Farnan and Joe Hesse are injured, but Andy Gorey returns and Phil Graham is added to the squad.
