Owen Farnworth wins the Heritage Trust Trophy
Oldham retained the Law Cup after a mighty struggle against Rochdale Hornets which saw them winners 16 – 14 in the rearranged match at Boundary Park on Wednesday January 22nd. After Oldham had gone into a ten points to nil lead, Hornets hit back to leave the home supporters much relieved to hear the final hooter with the Roughyeds only two points to the good. In the absence of regular skipper Jordan Turner, it was Pat Moran who had the honour to lead the team out and lift the cup.

Owen Farnworth was a worthy winner of the Heritage Trust Trophy with a typical non-stop performance. He was run close by several of his team-mates but his all round effort in defence and the ability to make the extra yards after impact swung the vote in his favour. A good example of this was the ‘drive’ into the Rochdale defence just prior to Kieran Dixon’s try which proved to be the match winner.
