James McGrady (38')
Josh McKenzie (55')
Attendance: 333
Referee: David Critchlow

After getting thumped 5-0 at Halesowen on Bank Holiday Monday, Rowe was looking for a reaction from his players and certainly got one from McGrady who opened the scoring in the first half with a 20-yard strike into the bottom corner.

McKenzie missed a good chance to double the lead on 50 minutes but made no mistake five minutes later when Kieron Whittaker forced a good save from Lewis Fenney and the ball rebounded invitingly for McKenzie to smash home.

Rovers came close to pulling a goal back when Bekir Halil’s free kick hit the woodwork while McKenzie was unlucky to see his dipping strike rattle the post late on.
