ROSS Collins marked his return to action with Bromsgrove Rovers Reserves by getting sent off in their 2-1 defeat at Hinckley United.

Collins, injured since the close season, was given his marching orders for dissent ten minutes into the second half.

Rovers had many chances to score in the match, several falling to Sam Bowen, but could not convert them.

They did take the lead though on 15 minutes when Nathan Battle and James Turk combined on the right before Turk crossed for Matthew Morrison to head home.

On the half hour a misunderstanding between Masuriak and Davies nearly spelled disaster for Rovers as they collided and fell in a heap, but a Hinckley forward shot wildly over from ten yards.

Collins was dismissed ten minutes after half time but Rovers still looked secure. The visitors were undone with two goals in the last 15 minutes.

Firstly, Russell hammered a rebounded free-kick home from 18 yards after the first strike had hit the wall.

With five minutes left, another Bromsgrove pass was intercepted and the same striker gave the goalkeeper no chance.
