There was also a great turn-out from Oldham RLFC including chairman Bill Quinn, CEO David Bottomley, coach Alan Kilshaw and other members of staff. The event featured a Presentation surrounding the games Oldham have played against Australia and New Zealand and it was good to see Oldham’s four current Australian players, Josh Drinkwater, Cole Geyer, Jaron Purcell and Ewan Moore in attendance.
The exhibition has received very favourable reviews and was well attended during its eight week run at the Gallery.
