Summary:l
Oldham were fighting for the title and they ground out
another crucial win on this visit to Prescott Street. A drop goal from Hurst
put Oldham 2-0 in front and that slender lead held until half time. A try
from Martin made it 5-0 and that lead was held until the end.
Wigan's Christmas Day fixture that on the day was agreed to be played as a "Friendly"
due to frost was prior to this game ordered to stand as a league game. So it was
now added to the league table.
