Newitts Beckett Football League Division One champs Rosedale fall at the first hurdle in Hospital Cup against Kirkdale United

After a scrappy opening period the visitors were celebrating a breakthrough as Finlay Burbridge slotted home, writes Andrew Stanton.

Their joy short lived, the goal adjudged offside. in the second half there was no improvement on quality, with both sides appearing to be dragged into the use of the long ball.

Eventually the deadlock was broken. Nathan Surgenor’s snapshot on the Rosedale goal not dealt with sufficiently, Will Pepler tapping home.

This sparked a little more life into the defending league champions, who began to stretch their opponents a little more frequently. but the visitors would grab a second through sub Brandon Smith.
