RU pack boosted

OLDHAM RUFC play Cumbrian opposition for the second successive week as Workington tomorrow visit Manor Park in North Lancs/Cumbria division (3pm).

Of the depleted team which lost 18-0 at Keswick last Saturday, Adam Langley is the only player who is unavailable.

But the weakened pack will be reinforced by the return to the squad of Rob Fryer, Matt Brogan and Paddy Farnan.

As Workington, who won the home fixture 23-14, are on the fringe of the promotion places, it will be another hard game for Oldham.
