Opportunity knocks

RUGBY:

OLDHAM RU firsts won’t have a better chance of clinching a first away victory of the season in North Lancashire Division One tomorrow.

Guy Lovegreen’s side, who have won five at home but none on their travels, visit bottom-of-the-table Garstang in a rearranged game.

The original meeting in September lasted just 10 minutes, with the referee abandoning the match after suffering a hamstring injury. Mid-table Oldham are boosted by the return of influential captain Gareth Barber, who has recovered from a leg injury, while Gary Phelan and Will Mellor are also back in the squad.

Adam Waterhouse and Paul Wardle are unavailable.
