Greg Young's spell in interim charge of Rossington Main yielded another 4-1 home win at the weekend.

Main, who recently saw Ben Hunter depart the club, placed Young in caretaker charge and he guided the side to another convincing win at Oxford Street, this time against Pickering Town.

Cameron Hough opened the scoring before a Manasse Kianga strike made it 2-0 at the break. Ross Hannah added a third just after the interval before Kianga's second killed the game as a contest. The only blot on Main's copybook came when Pickering's Ben Silburn notched a scant consolation. The result moved Main up to sixth in the NCEL Premier Division ahead of a midweek tussle away at Hallam.
