 Rangers are still keeping their dream of avoiding relegation alive by narrowly beating Oldham St Annes by 14-12. Oldham went ahead in the 21st minute with a try by winger Sean Thomas.

Twelve minutes after the restart, Baxby claimed his second try for Stanley and after St Anne's Paul Garrett had been sin-binned, Danny Grice landed a penalty to post an eight-point lead. Oldham's Carl Fields crossed the line and Swaine added the conversion and a penalty. However, when the home side were sanctioned for obstruction eight minutes from time, Danny Grice made no mistake with the penalty to give Stanley the two points.
