Featherstone Rovers Head Coach Jon Sharp has named his 19 man squad for the visit of newly promoted Oldham RLFC on Sunday (KICK OFF 3PM). Admission on Sunday is £18 adults, £12 concessions and £5 juniors with Rovers looking to carry on their Kingstone Press Championship campaign following the postponement of last week’s fixture at Whitehaven. We will also be showing Manchester United vs Arsenal (2.05pm) and the Capital One Cup Final from Wembley between Manchester City and Liverpool (4.30pm) in the Cappers Bar.

 

Jon Sharp said “We are looking forward to getting back on the pitch following the postponement of our trip to Whitehaven. We had mixed feelings about the game being called off as we wanted to carry on with the momentum we built up against Batley but with the injury crisis at Leeds Rhinos and a couple of knocks we were carrying, we were a bit short on numbers. It will add a bit of pressure further down the line depending on when the game is re-arranged but it means we are well prepared for this weekend.

 

“Oldham had a great win last week against Dewsbury Rams and it was no fluke and they won on merit. I’ve watched the game and also their performance against Leigh and they are an exciting team. They show plenty of skill, particularly with the ball in hand and they are adapting to Championship rugby well following their promotion. Round 3 in the Kingstone Press Championship proved that if you don’t go in to the game in the right frame of mind, then you can get beat by anybody. Jamie Cording returns from his shoulder injury so that is a positive and Colton Roche also returns following his suspension and a slight knock, he’s been training well and is raring to go.”
