Match Report

Rosso share the points in the local derby against The Blues in front of a packed out Oxford Street under the lights.

Mitch Langton put Rosso ahead on the 39 minute following a big scramble in the box after a Rossington corner kick.

Despite Rosso having some good chances early into the second half it was Frickley who drew level on the 64 minute when Callum Brook levelled proceedings inside the Rossington box.

Rosso pushed to find a late winner and following three substitutions, Ben Hunter’s side almost did that only to agonisingly hit the post deep into additional time however the outcome was to be a draw.

The local derby between Rosso and the former Football Conference side got underway with The Blues providing an easy save for Rosso shot-stopper Jamie Hassall after the header hit the target and before a short stoppage break as Brad Grayson received treatment.

Ross Hannah then came close to opening the scoring on the 19 minute after blocking the ball away from Adam Hewitson in goal for Frickley and who was caught outside of his box. In a one versus one race, Frickley’s man-between the sticks managed to chase back and get his hands on the ball preventing Hannah from placing it into what would have been an empty net.

Minutes later, Hannah came even closer after his low-driven shot across goal was pushed onto the post by Hewitson as the visitors escaped once again.

The visitors then appealed for a penalty after Luke Williams went down in the area however, the referee instantly quashed the call as what was nothing but a great piece of tracking back and a tackle by Paul Sherburn following the Frickley counterattack.

Frickley then looked to be in at the back post following a long cross which was curling towards the target however, William Jenkinson for Rosso had other ideas by delivering a powerful volleyed clearance which prevented an opening at the back post.

Six minutes before halftime, Rosso took the lead after a massive scramble in the Frickley penalty box following a Rossington corner. While everyone gambled on the ball, born and bred Rosso man Langton managed to opened the scoring within the six-yard box.

Shortly after play restarted and prior to the official attendance of 317 was announced through the speakers, Manasse Kianga broke through looking to extend Rosso’s lead but Hewitson escaped after the number nine’s shot finished just wide of the far post.

While Rossington continued to have the better chances early in the second half, it was the visitors who drew level 19 minutes after the restart when Brook’s header was converted inside the Rosso box.

Following a couple of substitutions, Rosso pushed to restore their lead as Liam King’s whipped in cross was powerful headed by Hannah who’s effort just finished above the crossbar.

While Kianga came close, Hannah came agonisingly near to finding the late winner in the 90+6 minute following a Rossington corner however the near post prevented Hunter’s side from claiming all three points.

Despite Frickley holding Rosso to a draw, Doncaster’s highest ranked Non-League side maintained their unbeaten start in the Northern Counties East League Premier with two draws out of two games.

Rosso XI: Hassall (GK), Sherburn (88’ Dunston), Jenkinson, King (C), Langton, Collins, Harrison, Grayson (73’ Graham), Kianga, Hannah, Prior (67 Barnett).

Unused Substitutes: Murillo, Hunter.
