Roughyeds are relishing the chance to gain promotion

Oldham's Promotion Final for the right to be in the Betfred Championship next season will be against Newcastle Thunder or Doncaster at the Vestacare Stadium on Sunday week, October 6, kick-off 3pm.

The opposition will be confirmed on Sunday when Thunder and Doncaster have a rematch of their earlier play-off tie in Newcastle which Doncaster won 20-6.
 
Roughyeds beat Newcastle at home 28-20 in a Betfred League 1 fixture on August 11 and they have since beaten Doncaster twice -- 40-14 on August 18 in the league and 22-12 in the play-off series last weekend.
 
The club will have hospitality places available for the final at a cost of £35 a head which includes a seat for the game, three-course food, pre and post-match interviews and presentations, programme, team sheet and access to a pay bar.
