21-man Oldham squad announced ahead of Newcastle clash
Date published: 03 May 2024
Jack Johnson, who hasn’t featured since the 1895 Cup quarter-final defeat against York Knights, is in contention for a starting spot on Sunday
Ahead of Oldham's home match against Newcastle on Sunday, boss Sean Long has made one change to the squad which travelled to Midlands last week.
Coming into the squad is winger Jack Johnson who replaces the injured Joe Wardle.
Wardle pulled his hamstring in last Sunday’s 44-16 victory over Midlands and thus misses out.
Jack Johnson, who hasn’t featured since the 1895 Cup quarter-final defeat against York Knights, is in contention for a starting spot on Sunday.
Roughyeds go in search of their sixth straight win on Sunday at Boundary Park when they take on winless Newcastle Thunder (3pm kick-off).
It is set to be an action-packed afternoon with junior sides from our local community clubs taking part in a curtain raiser at 1pm, ahead of the main event.
There is live music, entertainment, drinks and player signings in the fan bar from 12:30pm – get there early so as not to miss out!
Admission prices are £20 for adults, £14 for concessions and under-16s go free.
Tickets can be purchased over at the Roughyeds' ticketing page here
