Our visitors have made some high profile signings and are, rightly, favourites to win the competition. Hopefully we will take the field with ^W4 afull strength squad before abig and noisy crowd for what promises to be aterrific tussle. To date we feel our performances have been very professional and we ground out areally good result at Workington. Considering the signings Town have made, together with an excellent opening win over Rochdale we were very pleased % i to dent their aim of going all season unbeaten at % home. Agood few Cumbrians were well sick at the result Ican tell you! Our pack laid the foundations with adominating performance and newcomer Paul Norton was outstanding, displaying the work rate and toughness he had shown at Lancashire Lynx and which had drawn our attention to him. At this stage of the season nothing much has taken shape, but it is pleasing to see Swinton and Sheffield getting some results to put themselves up with the favourites. It serves as awarning to us not to underestimate anyone and not to let our guard slip. Obviously we are disappointed to lose Shayne McMenemy to Halifax Blue Sox, but it was always possible aSuper League club would come in for him and he leaves with our blessing and our thanks for his contribution to the Oldham cause, which has been magnificent. Meanwhile we are pleased to welcome out latest signing Danny Arnold. Ihope you have enjoyed aMerry Christmas and wish you all avery Happy New Year.
