THE NUMBERS: London Broncos and Oldham RLFC
Sunday’s meeting between Oldham and London Broncos will be the first time the two sides have met since 2021 and the first time at Boundary Park since 2007.
Despite the time between the league fixtures the two sides did in fact meet in a pre-season friendly in 2024 where the game ended in a draw. A rare result in itself in Rugby League but even more so in that it was the first time London hadn't won the game in 13 meetings. However, with it being a friendly game it doesn’t count towards the official records.
London Broncos have won their last 13 meetings with Oldham. The Roughyeds' last victory against the Broncos was a 19-8 Stones Bitter Championship win at Watersheddings on 20 September, 1995.
London Broncos have also won their last six away meetings with Oldham, with the Roughyeds' last home victory against the capital side being that same September 1995 fixture.

Oldham 20, London Broncos 30 (ChR15, 1/8/21 at Bower Fold)
