"The biggest game in our history is on Saturday as it’s play-off final time,” Main posted on Twitter.

"Please come and give all your support to little old Rosso!”

Main, who finished third in the final standings, secured a hard earned 1-0 win over Wakefield AFC in last weekend’s semi-final.

Horbury were surprise 1-0 winners at Harrogate Railway Athletic in the other semi-final.

Town actually finished one place outside of the play-off positions in sixth – with 26 points fewer points than Harrogate.

But they replaced fifth-placed Staveley Miners Welfare in the end-of-season competition because Staveley’s voluntary relegation last season meant they were ineligible for promotion.

Rossington have never played at a higher level than Division One of the Northern Counties East League – the 10th tier of English football’s pyramid.

They reached the play-off semi-final last year before losing to North Ferriby, who were this season crowned NCEL Premier Division champions.
