First away win is target

RUGBY:

OLDHAM RU firsts, with four wins at home including last weekend’s 50-point demolition of Tarleton, will look to break their duck away from Manor Park tomorrow.

Guy Lovegreen’s team hit the road to mid-table Birchfield in North Lancashire Division One.

Oldham will not want a repeat of the last time they met.

That was in the Lancashire Cup in 2003 when Birchfield, the underdogs, snatched a last-gasp 23-21 success.

Lovegreen has left himself out of the squad, while Rob Burston (injured) and Charlie Roscoe (back at university) are unavailable.

John Souter, Kris Jones and Mike Crouch are added to the 17.
