  1. The play the ball with the foot didnt last long, Cas made a good fist of it but Wigan could have been pinged all the game.
  2. ...Is doing live commentary right now on Leigh V Huddersfield BBC radio Manchester ( find it on BBC sport RL commentary page...So far he`s GOOD!
  3. Mike Ford knows the pathway to professional sport success...His attitude was single minded determination and practice practice practice...Then he would wander over from the rugby posts on Churchill playing fields and run rings round us on the Football field (Believe it or not...Its True). He put the hard hours in back in the day. I`m delighted hes chosen to put some more in at Oldham RLFC!
  4. What a wonderfully entertaining game of Rugby League that was today....Most enjoyable so far...The young guns of Wigan were a pleasure to watch, enthusiastic, full on committed, lots of talent on show and I started to think that we were going to be second best, and in the first half , at times we were....but the second half the game plan changed the experience shone through and a Ridyard masterclass of kicking plus some superb work by the right hand side offence and Oldham were out of sight...It looked fiercely contested and those young Wigan Lads didnt drop off or give an inch 4 man tackles full on ball returns it was a test indeed for the Roughyeds team as a whole for the game flowed as the young Lady ref had what I consider a fine game ( It may have been her debut) I have to say it but a day like today whets my appetite for all thats good about RL was on show. https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2023/02/12/valiant-warriors-lose-to-roughyeds/ Wigan Academy 22 Oldham RLFC 40
  5. Oldham didnt have the intensity of the week before but, dare I say it , the hornets surprised us with their speed and directness, and they had a couple of big strong forwards who made Oldhams defence work hard and backs who moved the ball well, It made for great entertainment and I just didnt see where the win was coming from because we were out enthused and outplayed for almost 70 minutes BUT an inch perfect Ridyard Kick and a superb take and Victory was snatched from defeat, I was stood with the Hornets fans and we had some fine fun but as I said at the final whistle they contributed to a truly exciting game and we all want to see our neighbours in this fine sport of RL...they are not having the easiest of times lately. Heartbreaking news regarding Lewis Sheridan I hope and Pray he makes a full recovery.
  6. Excellent first run out against a fast Widnes side, Oldham looked sharp and had a fine first half, the game changer was "Goliath of Gath" (Adam Lawton) an immense bloke who came on for Widnes and had a Wow,bar for a knock on...Unstoppable. typical John Kear side in second half they tightened up their defence and pinned Oldham down, Widnes scrum half MOM for me is it Matty Fozard Calvin Wellington looked particularly good but all the lads did well...Ah Van was great! good refereeing and I just hope that the terracing on Whitebank road gets finished soon. I thoroughly enjoyed the Game and a special mention for the most helpful steward who helped me to safely stash my Bike...Thank You! Oldham 20 Widnes 42
  7. He was a fearsome sight coming down the steps at Sheddings taking hits, offloading and staying on his feet, would you take him on face to face?....Neither would I, It was a pleasure to see him play. Old School hard man.
  8. One of the most talented and exiting players I have ever had the pleasure of watching in an Oldham Shirt..and one I would pay to watch, up there with Jarrod Sammut and Graham Holroyd for sheer skill. will he play standoff? Sincere condolences on the loss of Greggs mum and hoping his wife is still ok also...The man has been through a Lot!
  9. Im sure that the years I watched Lewis at Mayfield he played fullback?
  10. more future in that than Oldham RLFC mate!
