OLDHAM POWER SINKS HALIFAX

TWO sides that began the season perhaps unexpectedly well, but have recently gone off the boil a little, might have been expected to produce a tight game, with a close and unpredictable outcome.
In blustery conditions at Boundary Park, however, nothing could have been further from the truth.
The home side produced an almost perfect first half, and although the second was better contested by Fax, the destination of the eventual spoils was never really in doubt.
Both team selections showed two debut appearances, with both young French winger Mathieu Pons and this week’s capture from Warrington, Zane Musgrove, having impressive outings for the Roughyeds.
