What A Game!! Thats all that Gaffer Frankie Bircham could say at the final whistle!
Rovers have never beaten The Academicals in 2 seasons, and tonights draw was an even result. The Academicals took the lead with a thunder bolt of a shot. Rovers top scorer Peter Bircham equalised not long after with another trade mark finish.
The game was played at such a quick pace and both teams had chances to score more. Man of the match Darren Joseph scored another goal and put Rovers in front for only a short period of time before the Academicals hit back again. Towards the end of the game with nearly the last kick, The Academicals hit the inside of the post!! Rovers stood there relieved and even more so when the final whistle blew seconds later.
It was a hard faught point, and a solid performance by the boys.

Regards Frankie Bircham
