witham were begging to celebrate a good win and their first three points of the season at the end of the game , but then in time added on they conceeded two goals that damped everthing. on the best looking surface at spa road for many a year town had an excellent first half and held a one goal lead scored by DANNY EMMANUEL as he twisted and turned through the rovers defence to beat keeper adam seal with a shot just inside the post in the 37th minute.
six minutes into the second half skipper lewis godbold started a good build up with the live wire emmanuel who put JOHN WATSON clear to shot into the net 2.0 to witham . the visitors fought back and witham keeper jason baker made a couple of good saves ,then as the final whistle approached dan trenkel scored following a free kick, and then as the indicated three extra minutes stretched to six minutes !, a long clearance from seal fell to jacob cleaver who shot past baker. with the final whistle coming at the restart. tom cockin (witham) received a red card after a incident at the final hand shakes.
