For the second week in succession, my first choice of game bit the dust early doors, so it left me once again seeking an alternative. As a Twitter user ( @christopher7590 ) following various leagues, the much maligned (but not by me) social network came into it's own as various clubs posted that their games were ON.
One of the first I clocked to confirm that there were no problems with their pitch was Rossington Main. Choice made.
Rossington Main were founded in 1919 as Rossington Colliery and the club moved to Oxford Street in 1921, and this has been it's home ever since. The club were founding members of the Central Midlands League in 1983 before gaining promotion to the Northern Counties East League in 1991. They merged with local club Rossington FC in 1998.
The game against Pontefract Collieries, turned out to be a cracker, especially the final 10 minutes.
More or less from the re-start, Leister (85) burst through and chipped the 'keeper for his second goal to make it 2-2. Within moments it was 3-2 to Rossington as Fallon (87) notched his second goal of the game. Pontefract piled forward in desperate search of equaliser and in stoppage time Steve Tierney rose to head home and level things up.

There were plenty of opportunities but a combination of poor decision making in the final third, along with some wayward finishing meant neither goalkeeper was really tested. The opening goal arrived on 28 minutes through Brandon Fallon, who slotted home from inside the area.
Pontefract began the second half strongly and equalised on the hour when Brenton Leister tapped home at the back stick. Rossington worked their way back into the game and were the stronger side so when, on 84 minutes, Richard Spears went through one-on-one and fired home, the majority of crowd assumed that would be the three points for Rossington. Wrong!

The action wasn't finished there either as both teams had a chance to nick a winner, but it wasn't to be. Great entertainment and full credit to both teams.
