Local derby for OIdham

Date published: 21 October 2011


RUGBY: OLDHAM RU put their 100-per-cent home record on the line tomorrow when local rivals North Manchester pay a visit.

Guy Lovegreen’s side have won all four of their North Lancashire Division One games at Manor Park this season, piling up plenty of points in the process.

Mid-table North Manchester will be no pushovers and Oldham will need to be at their best to make it five home victories on the spin.

Dean McEwan, John Souter and John Gillam face late fitness checks after missing last weekend’s defeat at Birchfield. Charlie and Luke Roscoe are available for Oldham, who sit fifth in the table.
