Rose travelled to Station Park to face Forfar Athletic.

Manager Jonny Stewart made 3 changes from last week's defeat to East Fife, bringing back Paddy Martin in goals, Neil Martyniuk returning from injury at Centre Back, and Keiran McGachie was deployed up top.

Rose started well and applied pressure early on, looking to gain possession and keep a hold of the ball.

Angus Mailer would have Rose’s first chance of the afternoon but he blazed his shot over the Forfar goal.

Callum Connolly would have Rose’s second chance of the half as he headed his chance over the Forfar goal in the 23rd minute.

The Rose were awarded a penalty after 28 minutes when Kieran McGachie was brought down in the penalty area.

Captain of the day Neil Martyniuk would send McCallum the wrong direction, scoring in the bottom right of the Forfar goal, giving Rose the lead.

Bonnyrigg Rose held on to the lead going into the break after a positive first-half showing.

Rose would continue to work hard early into the second half, keeping momentum while pressing Forfar with hunger and intent.

Bonnyrigg Rose would extend the lead in the 69th minute after an excellent built attack.

Aaron Arnott would play a pinpoint ball into the path of Cammy Ross, who added to Rose’s lead.

Paddy Martin on his return would be important in supporting the lead, as he would make an array of impressive stops in the last 10 minutes to keep Rose’s clean sheet for the afternoon.

The support of the Rose faithful has played a crucial role in backing the team and will be more important than ever next Saturday when Bonnyrigg Rose take on Spartans F.C. at New Dundas Park.
