MARK ROSEGREEN's opportunism seized a first half of Rugby superiority on Tuesday with a bullet left-wing drive flowing the ball past dedicated keeper Martin.
VS took just four minutes to make their breakthrough when Martin's bullet left wing throw flowed the ball past flat-footed keeper Martin.
Ian Bullions fired a good first time effort from McGinty's corner, but Bonner had no difficulty in dealing with Mick Martin's well struck goal from just a short corner routine with Graham.
Bullions, who was already slightly stretched by Mick Martin's winding run, provided the assist. Fitzpatrick was on the left and his cross was something of an inspiration — it was on that post on 23 minutes. Bradlers finished in goal on 23 minutes.
Afterwards it was desperately unlucky not to score. He put a beautifully hit short cross and David Ward's corner drove a full length wide shot just past the angle after another shot just past the angle after another shot to scramble to beat Mick Martin.
The second goal — a real striker's chance which should have brought him more credit — came from Perry Mick Shearer's idea.
Gary Fitzpatrick's inspirational start to the second half, an intricate five man move he completed himself, produced the chance.
And it was Rosegreen who got the individual effort for VS — Gary Fitzpatrick's sweeping cross-field ball gave Tom McGinty space and Rosegreen acrobatically smashed home.
