SJR somehow were denied a third goal at the start of the second half when Taylor Thackery saw a penalty saved.
Amazingly he was fouled again going after the rebound, before the keeper saved the resulting penalty.
But SJR brushed off the disappointment and hit the front when in-form Gee scored with the aid of a deflection.

Sykes added another to complete a good team move, before Brown wrapped the scoring up.
But the club’s development side suffered a 3-1 defeat against a very strong Rossington side who had won 9 out of 9 games so far this season.
From the off SJR were under pressure, but the defence of Jack Wroe Ewan Birch and Finn Sweetnam stood firm assisted by the ever improving Reece king in goal.

Hide AdSJR could’ve gone in front on 20 minutes when first-team player Taylor Thackery beat the offside trap and through on goal unselfishly squared the ball but it just fell short for Dee Scott.
Rossington moments later went 1-0 up after a series of corners and pressure paid off.
The introduction of another first team player Max Sykes for Thackery gave the young side the much needed guile against their classy opponents.
And it was Sykes who got development back into the game with a long range shot.

Rossington were gifted a goal when a clumsy challenge resulted in a penalty which they duly dispatched.
And it was game over when Rossington bagged another in the final minutes.
