Brett Pitman marked his Blues debut with two goals - one in the fifth minute, the other four minutes from the end - but at times there was little to choose between two teams both starting new seasons in higher divisions after promotion.

The Rocks fielded many of last season’s squad plus a few young trialists and were glad to welcome Dan Lincoln back in goal as he mulls over where his future lies.
