Rossington Main return home to the Kalkut’s Community Stadium on Tuesday evening to host Route One Rovers in Northern Counties East League JCP Construction Cup semi-final with ROSSO Issue #27 on sale as the final edition of 2025/26.

Following a short break from action, Rosso come into this one on the back of four points from our final two league games, both against Knaresborough Town, results which secured our NCEL Premier Division survival and confirmed a 14th place finish. Attention now turns to cup competition, with a place in the final at stake in what promises to be a big occasion under the lights.

This week’s front cover features Cody Prior, set against a NCEL-themed backdrop in support of the competition. Inside, attacking midfielder Masai Arbouin is the player in spotlight after delivering two huge and decisive goals across the final two league fixtures to help secure our Non-League step 5 status.

Joint manager Greg Young pens his final programme column of the season, offering a summary of the overall campaign, the challenges faced, and the opportunity that remains in the cup as Rosso aim to finish the season on a high.

Our visitors, Route One Rovers, arrive from the NCEL Division One and will be looking to cause an upset and book their place in the final. This issue includes a look at their history and rise within the Non-League pyramid ahead of Tuesday's encounter.

Elsewhere in Issue #27, a feature titled “Safety secured with a match to spare!” takes an in-depth look at the dramatic final week of the league season, revisiting the twists and turns that ultimately saw the Rosso retain our Premier division status.

As always, supporters can also find a full match preview, updated squad pages, fixtures, results, club history, the kids’ corner, offers and more.

Issue #27 of ROSSO, our final programme of the season, will be available ahead of kick-off, priced at £3, packed with all the build-up to this crucial semi-final clash. Pick up your copy at the turnstiles on entry.
