High-flying Oldham claim a nail-biter
IAN WILSON Boundary Park, Sunday
OLDHAM 13
DONCASTER 12
OLDHAM are increasingly looking like the Manchester region’s current top side, with no fewer than five recent refugees from Super League Salford in their squad for this game.
There was also a goodly spattering of Salford supporters, who had responded positively to the home chairman Bill Quinn’s generous offer of free admission for them for this final Boundary Park regular season fixture of the season.
And what a marvellous game of rugby the healthy attendance was treated to! At the final whistle, the margin in favour of the home side was just one point – and that simple statement hides details of a nail-biting and high-quality game of rugby.
