Away league match played on 11 September 2011.
Kicked off at 10:30 AM

Rovers went in to their 2nd league match looking to build on the 2nd half performance against Brandon.

It did not start well as after only 6 mins Jay was subbed due to head injury and taken off to hospital for stitches.

The Blues had a very strong first 20 minutes and dominated the game with good closing, but had a couple of chances that should have been taken!

On 25 mins G&S were punished for not taking advantage of that possession. A free kick was given away on edge of box and the Reds curled it into to top corner! 1-0.

The game was fairly even until on 42 mins an inswinging corner was not dealt with properly & was headed home for 2-0.

The ref was being overly fussy, but on 44 mins Sabanoh were down to 10 men for a second yellow card, but lasted until half time.

G&S started the 2nd half as they did the first and pulled a much deserved goal back on 50 mins. Chris' throw on found Deji who chested it down, turned and blasted home for 2-1.

62 mins were on the clock when Rovers gave away a sloppy goal.  Again a foul that did not need to happen gave them a chance to swing the ball in to the box and poke home from close range for 3-1.

With 15 mins left however G&S had not given up and Rich managed to slip Deji through on goal, for the 'goal master' to calmly round the keeper for 3-2 and it was game on!

With very little time left on the clock some very sloppy defending led to the Sabanoh man being one on one with Deano and that was 4-2.

Even more disappointment in the dying seconds as, despite a previous yellow card, Russell stupidly decided to handle from a corner from Rich towards goal and was sent off.  This added to tooo many other bookings, so a lot to learn from this match!
