Match Preview – Oldham (h)

May 18, 2024

Cornwall RLFC are back on home soil with table toppers Oldham visiting the Duchy, as Betfred League 1 moves to its ninth round.

The Choughs will be buoyed by a brilliant win over Midlands Hurricanes last time out, with late tries from David Weetman and Cameron Brown securing the side’s maiden triumph in 2024.

Squad Selection

Cornwall RLFC head coach Mike Abbott has named his 21-man squad for tomorrow’s home match against the Roughyeds.

The Choughs, on the back of a brilliant first win of the season last time out against Midlands Hurricanes, have to contend with mixed news on the injury and availability front, ahead of the table topping Roughyeds visiting the Duchy.

Powerhouse duo Tom Ashton and Josh Hartshorne are unavailable whilst Morgan Punchard starts the first of a two-game suspension, after he was sent off against Rochdale Hornets in round eight.

Harry Boots returns to the squad after missing the win over the Hurricanes, as does Courage Mkuhlani, who was unable to play against his parent club in Cornwall’s last victory.

A late call will be made on Maltese international Kaine Dimech who is recovering from an ankle problem.
