Ronnie Dolan’s team opened the scoring midway through the first half through Warren Mfula after a nice set-up by Callum Erskine. But Jake Cope continued his fine scoring start to the season for Danny Hollands’ Rocks with an equaliser 10 minutes into the second half.
That was the way it stayed and Hastings won the shootout 6-5 to go through to the third qualifying round, scheduled for September 26.
