| Summary:l |
This proved to be a costly defeat in the last game of the
regular season for Wigan because it knocked them out of play off contention
with Keighley finishing in the top four instead. That must have been bitter
because Wigan had played 10 league matches more than Keighley but in these
that was within the rules and the table decided on points percentage. Wigan
led 3-2 at the break but Oldham hit back second half to lead 7-3. Wigan
narrowed that lead with a penalty but Oldham hung on. Anguish for the
majority of the 15,000 crowd. |
