Match Preview: Hunslet vs Oldham
17/07/2026
Having brushed aside Halifax Panthers in their return to Boundary Park last week, Oldham are back on the road to face Hunslet this Sunday at the South Leeds Stadium (3pm kick-off).
Before Oldham return to home soil next week to take on Barrow Raiders – just one win off the Roughyeds – they will bid to secure a seventh straight win in all competitions over the Leeds based side.
The win would be Oldham's 15th in a row in the Championship, as Alan Kilshaw's men edge closer to the 22 consecutive wins achieved back in the 1981/82 season.
Tickets can only be purchased via Hunslet this weekend, with no specific Oldham tickets made available. Alternatively, fans can pay on the day.

The Opposition
Oldham have beaten Hunslet in all six of their previous meetings, two of which came earlier in the current season.
The South Leeds side are fifth bottom in the Betfred Championship and have lost each of their last three matches.
Former Oldham winger Mo Agoro has scored in each of his side's last two matches as has former Rochdale centre Myles Dalton-Harrop.
Kyle Trout's side have had the benefit of an extra week's preparation, and the Roughyeds will be well aware of the threat Hunslet pose after they scored 24 points in the sides' previous meeting with Oldham.
