Widnes Vikings moved a step closer to their Super League dream, winning the NFP Grand Final against Oldham by 24-14. A capacity crowd at Spotland saw the Vikings go in 10-4 in front at the break thanks to tries from Steve Gee and Jason Demetriou and a Craig Weston goal against a try from Keith Brennan.
Widnesâ greater experience told in the second half, as they added further tries to Phil Cantillon, Damian Munro and another from Demetriou before the Roughyeds, inspired by player-coach Mike Ford, playing his last game before retiring, scored two late consolations by Ford himself and Kevin Mannion.
