Rossington head to Handsworth on Wednesday evening in the Northern Counties East League JCP Construction Cup quarter final.

Last Time Out v Handsworth

Rossington completed the season double over The Ambers last time the two sides met at the Express Worktops Stadium at Olivers Mount in the NCEL Premier at the start of February. In front of 142 spectators, Rosso took the lead through Liam King in the second half which was shortly cancelled out by The Ambers’ top goalscorer Alfie Dodsworth eight minutes later. Manasse Kianga then came to Rossington’s rescue 11 minutes from time to send Rosso back to Doncaster with the maximum three points resulting in a final scoreline of 1-2 in Hunter’s sides favour.
