Match Preview

Rossington travel to the Humber as they face The Swans at The Easy Buy Stadium on Saturday.

Ben Hunter’s side will be looking for another victory in the league following last Saturday’s victory over Tadcaster Albion in the Northern Counties East League Premier. Rosso also had a outing midweek where Worksop Town of the Northern Premier League took until sudden death of a penalty shoutout to edge past Rossington after the game finished 2-2 in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup round three tie.

The Swans have drawn all of their last five games in all competitions as on Tuesday they also lost in a penalty shoutout after their county cup game ended 2-2 like Rossington’s. The Swans were eventually defeated by Lincoln United in the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy quarter final which marked their third penalty shootout in a row.

Barton do have plenty of games in hands over most of their opponents in the division due to many of their recent league fixtures being postponed because of poor weather conditions. The Swans therefore could be relatively rusty from league action having last played in the NCEL Premier over one month ago on the 14th October, where they also drew 2-2 away at Hallam.

Team News

As far as recent injury news is concerned, Jordan Buckham went off injured in Saturday’s victory over Tadcaster Albion. Cody Prior who initially picked up an injury a couple of weeks ago away at Campion is also waiting to see how long he may be on the sidelines for after his suspected rib injury.

Last Time Out v Barton

The Swans put a spoil to Rosso’s first game at Non-League step 5 as Barton came out on top in a game full of goals on the opening day of the Northern Counties East League Premier season. Despite Jordan Buckham breaking the deadlock, a goal from each of Thomas Waudby, Craig King and Harrison Coley sent The Swans into the lead at the interval. In the second half, substitute Ross Hannah scored a brace minutes after entering the field, but Waudby then scored two more to complete his hat-trick and see Barton end up on the favouring end of 3-5 scoreline in front of 268 spectators at Oxford Street.
