Toulouse too strong for Oldham

JOE BURKE . . . the prop was among the Oldham try-scorers

Toulouse 58, Oldham RL 18

A DESTRUCTIVE first-half performance from Toulouse sent Oldham RL crashing to defeat in France.

The hosts, who started the day second in the Kingstone Press Championship, put 36 unanswered points on the board to put the Roughyeds well and truly on the back foot.

Oldham rallied after the break and scored three tries of their own through Kieran Gill, Joe Burke and Richard Lepori, each goaled by Scott Leatherbarrow.

There was no stopping Toulouse, though, as they added another 22 points to their tally at the Stade Ernest Argeles.
