Match-day experience

DUE to the success of their first game-day bash in the sponsors' lounge, Oldham Roughyeds Supporters' Association is to stage a repeat at the Oldham v Barrow game at Whitebank on August 23.

Admission of £7.50 does not include ground admission, but it covers buffet and tea and coffee before the game and at half time.

There will be pre- and post-match speeches from chairman Chris Hamilton and either coach Scott Naylor or a player not on duty in the game.

Recipients of man of the match and champagne moment awards, which will be sponsored by ORSA that day, will also be interviewed in the hospitality suite after the game.

Tickets from Paul on 0161 626 9880.



ANYONE playing touch rugby with Oldham RLFC at Oasis Academy Oldham, Hollins Road, on Wednesday nights during August will have a chance to win two tickets for the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Officials of the RFL’s Play Touch Rugby initiative will make a surprise visit to Oasis at one of the sessions this month, handing out goodies and a chance to win the tickets.

A free taster session for women and girls attracted 18 players. To play (£3 a session) turn up at Oasis shortly before 7pm on Wednesdays and speak to Danny Newall.
