Last Time Out v Pickering

Rossington picked up their first win at Non-League step 5 last time the two sides met in gameday number two of the current NCEL Premier season. In front of 119 spectators away at Mill Lane, Jordan Buckham’s goal on the 68 minute proved to be the deciding factor as Rosso took all three points back to South Yorkshire.
