ON THE MARK : Clitheroe goalscorer Scott Redhead (middle) is congratulated after his strike for the Blues
ROSSENDALE maintained their unbeaten record against local rivals Clitheroe this season with a feisty draw at Dark Lane.
The Stags got off to a flying start in just the second minute of the game when striker Phil Eastwood cracked a low shot past Blues goalkeeper James Mann.
But on 20 minutes, Derek Egan's men were reduced to 10 men when Tom Clarkson was given his marching orders for two yellow cards in quick succession.
Clitheroe needed just four minutes to make their numerical advantage count as they struck a leveller.
Gary Stopforth's left wing cross was ideal for Scott Redhead, who headed home from six yards.
Despite being a man down, the Stags retook the lead when lone striker Mario Daniel rounded Mann before slotting home.
