ROSSI & ROSSI 2 SPORTSCO 2

ROSSI produced a dominant performance but had to settle for a point after being thwarted by a stubborn defensive display from Sportsco.

However, they found themselves a goal down before the reliable Johno McCall levelled, sliding home after good work from his brother Kieran and Adam Bache.

The second half was more even but Rossi had their fair share of chances.

They eventually took the lead when McCall lobbed the keeper after springing the offside trap.

Rossi looked set for victory but conceded again and had to settle for a point when they should have won comfortably.
