Dale finished off their Spanish tour with a 6-1 hammering of local side Marbella FC with goals coming from Dagnall, Keltie, Muirhead, Higginbotham and a brace from Jon Shaw.

And so after Iranian shirked at the might of the Dale super power and the Charlton side pulled out for some girly reason, it was left to the local lads to take on Dale. And after this, who could blame the Iranians and the Charltanians for pulling out, as we finished the tour off in style with six goals coming in a game.

The game brought your usual pre-season friendly mass changes:

1st half team was: Sam Russell, Simon Ramsden, Nathan Stanton, Raphale Evans, Tom Kennedy, Ciaran Toner, Gary Jones, Clark Keltie, Kallum Higginbotham, Chris Dagnall and Adam Le Fondre.

2nd half team was: Sam Russell, Simon Ramsden, Scott Wiseman, Nathan D'Laryea, Tom Kennedy, Kallum Higginbotham, Simon Heslop, Kyle Lambert, Ben Muirhead, Will Buckley and Jon Shaw

The Dale players will now fly home and continue the build up for the new season by preparing for this weekend's game with Rossendale.
