Being 26-28 down coming into time added on they managed to cross for a try to steal the win from a very committed Kendal.
It did not start well as the visitors ran in three converted tries before the interval to take a 0-21 lead
That was seen as retrievable but when Kendal crossed for a fourth early in the second half Rossendale were up against it.
To be fair they 'sparked up' and from a catch and drive and good hands from James Bramhall and Steve Nutt, Fraser Lyndsay came up on the inside to cross for his side's opening try, Nutt slotting the conversion.
It was Lyndsay who brought up the second also off a catch and drive, Bramhall and Nutt again involved in the action with Duncan Tout finding Lyndsay coming on his inside from the opposite wing to take the scoring pass.
A break by Ryan McKibbin who although growing to ground found Keiron allen who broke the line to set up the opportunity for alex Isherwood to cross for the third.
A catch and drive orchestrated by Dominic Moon got Nick Flynn over, Nutt's conversion setting pulses going.
With the momentum albeit late in Rossendale's favour a forward drive and yet again the Bramhall, Nutt axis engineered the opening for Curtis Strong to to claim the 'winner'
