Rose, who fielded new faces John Ovenstone and Billy Gibson, fell behind early on. But they gradually settled and equalised from the penalty spot, with Andy Shirra converting. Calum Smith edged Rose ahead before Shirra missed a penalty before half-time.

In the second half, Smith added a third before sub Stuart McArthur and Steve Manson completed the rout.
