Crunch time for Oldham

RUGBY UNION:

BATTLING against relegation, basement boys Oldham play host to Blackburn in the North Lancs and Cumbria Division tomorrow.

The Manor Park outfit need to win their remaining three games — the other two are against Fleetwood and De La Salle — to stand any chance of avoiding relegation.

Oldham visited Blackburn in the first week of the season, losing 29-0, but Guy Lovegreen’s young side are better in their own backyard and are capable of claiming maximum points.

Wingers Will Mellor and Rob Froggatt are added to the Oldham squad.



A GOOD crowd is expected, including many to celebrate Sam Molineux’s 70-year association with Oldham.
