Irvine Meadow 1 Rossvale 1: Late Wardrope equaliser takes heat of referee
Meadow a share of the spoils - and take the heat off whistler Paul Timmons.Wardrope's beautiful curling strike from the edge of the box in 88 minutes cancelled out Ross Alexander's first half opener for the visitors.But Meadow should have been on level terms way before that after striker Brian Connor had a goal ruled out, despite the ball clearly crossing the line.Referee Timmons failed to get a good view of the 47th minute flashpoint and with no linesmen to help him, waved play on.In the end, a draw was probably a fair result with Rossvale showing great resilience to defend their lead, particularly during a difficult second half spell when Meadow were on top.Meadow went into the friendly encounter looking to build on a midweek 2-1 win over
