Arundale is back for Oldham

LUKE ROSCOE . . . fractured eye socket

ALEX Jobson and Ryan Arundale return for Oldham Rugby Union Club firsts tomorrow.

However, Luke Roscoe and Lewis North are absent for the North Lancashire and Cumbria League clash at home to high-flying Aspatria.

In a body blow for Oldham, Roscoe (fractured eye socket) and North (shoulder) will miss the remainder of the season.

Jake Watson and Rob Froggatt are unavailable, but Jason Green has retained his place in the squad as cover.

There is plenty riding on the game. Oldham are seeking a top-four finish, while the visitors have promotion in their grasp.

Fixtures between the two sides are often close, but that wasn't the case in the early part of the season as Aspatria put 72 points on the board to condemn Oldham to their heaviest defeat for many years.

This weekend's hosts have improved since Christmas, but it will still be a big ask to beat a team who have only lost three league games so far this season.

A REMINDER to spectators as tomorrow's match kicks off at the early time of 2.30pm, so that players can later watch England's 6 Nations match against Scotland on the big screen in the Manor Park clubhouse.
