Match Preview: Oldham vs London Broncos
14/08/2026
Roughyeds are ready for battle as London Broncos head to Boundary Park this Sunday.
The Broncos, loaded with full-time overseas talent, are riding high on a 21-game winning streak and a win could wrap up the League Leaders Shield, but Alan Kilshaw's men will be out to cause an upset.
Sunday promises to be an action-packed day of rugby, with Oldham’s under-18s side setting the stage in a curtain-raiser against Widnes Vikings at 11:30am.
To encourage a big crowd at Boundary Park, we have allowed all under-16s to watch the game for FREE! Get down and cheer the lads on this Sunday.
