RU hit road for opener

RUGBY UNION:

OLDHAM Rugby Union Club kick-offs its 2013-14 North Lancashire Division One campaign with a trip to Salford side De La Salle on Saturday, September 14.

The Manor Park outfit follow-up a week later with their first home game against Thornton Cleveleys.

Dates to pick out for fans’ diaries will be derbies against Ashton-under-Lyne on November 9 (away) and February 15 (home).

The run-up to Christmas remains relatively free, with Oldham’s final game of 2013 on December 14 against Garstang, before a return to action at Thornton Cleveleys on January 4.

Should Oldham be in the running for honours, they can count on home support in four of the last six games.
