Oldham 80 minutes from making rugby league history
Oldham Roughyeds are one step closer to making rugby league history after their 38-24 win against Barrow in the 1895 Cup, advancing to the semi-finals and keeping alive the dream of reaching Wembley for the first time since 1929.
Oldham’s 38-24 victory over Barrow in the 1895 Cup on Sunday has propelled the Roughyeds into the semi-finals and kept alive their dream of a first-ever Wembley appearance.
The win moves Oldham one step closer to ending a 95-year wait that began when the RFL first staged finals at the famous stadium in 1929. “Thats a long time to wait,” said club captain Jordan Turner, reflecting on generations of supporters who have never seen their team play at the national stadium.
“Generations of Oldham people have missed out on this and we would love to get there for them,” Turner added, highlighting the significance of the potential milestone for the club and its community.
Oldham join Bradford Bulls, Featherstone Rovers and York Knights in the semi-finals. The draw for the next round will take place next Sunday, April 13.
