Rochdale emerged victorious in their first pre-season game of the summer with a 2-0 win over North West Counties side Rossendale United. Goals from Callum Byrne and second-year YTS player Helio Andre gave Keith Hill's side the win and five trialists were handed opportunities to shine. Hill said: "We had a plan and the players stuck to their tasks well. "I don't know when I'll make a decision on the trialists, maybe I have made my mind up about a few already. "We will all meet up again on Monday and decide from then on what we are going to do. "There are a lot of available players out there and for us it is about getting the quality for League One and not, with all due respect, Rossendale."
