Latics’ survival is secured thanks to Dale derby point

OLDHAM ATHLETIC guaranteed their League One safety after a 1-1 draw with local rivals ROCHDALE.

It was play-off hopefuls Rochdale who took the lead with just 13 minutes on the clock when Callum Camps got on the end of Nathaniel MendezLaing’s cross and scored.

The visitors remained the better side but they couldn’t add to their lead, and Latics got back on level terms just after the hour mark when Jamie Stott’s ball into the box was headed home by Peter Clarke.

Oldham stay 17th after the draw, while Rochdale are two points from the play-offs with just one game left.

BOLTON WANDERERS will have to wait until the final game of the season to see if they earn promotion to the Championship despite a 2-0 win at Port Vale.

A last-minute winner from Fleetwood in their game against Gillingham means the battle for second place continues until next week, with Bolton two points clear heading into their last match.
