FOOTBALL: RIFLE Range ‘A’ won the Midas Plumbing Oldham Sunday League Jack Abbott Premier Division runners-up spot for the third year running thanks to a 1-1 draw against Limeside King George.

A late equaliser from long-serving marksman James Curley handed Range the draw they needed, as they ended the season five points behind champions Legends Bar.

King George had dominated the first half and took the lead in the 23rd minute through Wayne Ware.

Range steadied the ship in the second half and after a flurry of shots and chances, it was Curley who beat the King George goalkeeper after sneaking past the last defender.
