Roughyeds pull off major Cup shock

STEVE ROPER . . . experience.

OLDHAM Roughyeds reached the last 16 of the Challenge Cup with one of the biggest upsets for years  with a 36-22 win at Hull KR.

The Super League side were stunned by Scott Naylor's Championship new boys as they led 24-6 at half time after tries from Will Hope, Richard Lepori, Steve Roper and Adam Clay.

Shaun Lunt, Dane Tilse, Maurice Blair and Joe Wardill reduced the arrears for the home side after the break.

But missed conversions proved costly as Gary Middlehurst and Lepori's second try secured victory for Oldham.
