Report: Easing the new team in

After a perfect pre-season and several summer signings Rovers were keen to get the season off to a stormer.

With a very successful pre-season under their belts, Rovers started the game with gusto. Debutant and MOM Mike Wardle slotted home after some great build up play down the right flank and fired past the opposition keeper to give the lead. Only a few minutes later a spectacular goal from Essemay levelled proceedings. The central midfield was outstanding, however in the second half match fitness let Rovers concede, and the scoreline did justice to the match.
