The visitors dominated the first half, due in no small part to the strong wind at their backs but it was 34 minutes before they broke the deadlock when Marley Thomas found Adam Page on the edge of the box who twisted and turned before beating Rovers’ keeper, Adam Forster low to his right.

Forster had previously denied ex Rovers’ player, Shane Anson twice and Page with excellent saves but could do nothing to prevent the goal. The hosts’ efforts were confined to two shots from Sam Jordan, both well of target.

United should have increased their lead on 55 minutes as Rovers’ skipper, Jamie Laird, under hit his back pass allowing Kane Simpson to round Forster but sent his shot over the bar.

Forster then made another fine save to deny Davies but was beaten again on 61 minutes when Joe Turley crossed from the left and Rovers’ defender, Joe Hilliard, could only get a slight touch on the bouncing ball but enough to send it past Forster and into the net.

In the 88th minute substitute Kye Simpson, missed an open goal for the visitors after great work from brother, Kane but it never looked like proving costly as the visitors out comfortable winners.
