The Boundary Line: Oldham's AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Semi-Final special

Watch this special episode of 'The Boundary Line' as Oldham prepare to face Featherstone Rovers in the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Semi-Finals this Sunday.

The winners will feature at Wembley on Saturday 7 June, with Oldham searching for their first ever appearance at the national stadium.

Head Coach Sean Long gives his unique insight into big-match mentality, while Club Chairman Bill Quinn outlines how the club is gearing up for a big weekend.

"We are excited. It is a semi-final, 80 minutes away from Wembley so what is not to like?!" Long comments. "It is crazy that a club like Oldham has never played at Wembley and crazy for us to be in this situation having been in League One last year.

"We have put a really strong team together and if we can go out and get the win at the weekend we will remember this time forever.

"These players could remember this for the rest of their lives. It is giving me goosebumps that we have a real crack at this."

Quinn adds: 

"It is amazing that this club is 150 years old next year and has never been to Wembley. 

 "We are creating our own history, it will be a tough game but to get there would be fantastic. This game means so much for the people of Oldham and I know we will give it our best."

The history books are then taken a look at as the Roughyeds bid to break new ground.

And to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, prop Gil Dudson joins the show for an open chat...
