Kieran Dixon breaks the ‘points in a match’ record

The club record for ‘points in a match’ was broken on Sunday August 11th in the 84 – 0 victory over Newcastle when newly signed wingman Kieran Dixon scored 3 tries and 12 goals to register 36 points.

This supersedes the 34 which was shared by Andy Ballard, Chris Baines and Lewis Palfrey.  Andy got the record first in May 2009 with Chris equalling it four months later. Then Lewis also got that total in August 2015.

Also, in the same match, the five tries scored by Cian Tyrer took his total for Oldham this season to 27, which is the best haul this century surpassing the 25 touchdowns scored by Nick Johnson in 2004.
