You can probably tell from the lack of headline that it was not one of the better matches to watch, the first visit to the home of the Waders for Rovers saw them make the long journey back home with nothing to show but having gained a lesson on how to defend with ten men.

The game started brightly enough which is more thaqn can be said for the weather with the first introduction of cold and wet this autumn. Passing between the Waders was exemplary with Lee Allinson running the midfield as he so often can. Banton and Ives taking full advantage of balls being played at their feet. On twenty minutes Banton showed his potential when he mesmerized three or four players before curling a shot passed the keeper. Surely more to come with the hard working Pires doing his best to feed off loose balls and Rovers trying to edge their way back into this game.

With half time done and dusted hardly had time elapsed before Cam Mawer was reversing his walk after getting a second yellow of the match. A change of formation bringing on Lee Smith for Lee Reed and the Waders shut up shop. Always known for their meanness in defence such a slender lead needed careful and concentrated play. On the day none better than Biggleswade of "parking the bus" and although Rovers had chances it was from distance and not with accuracy. Andrew Iwediuno led the line and was the pick of but Mark Coulson and youngster Connor Roberts along with a performance from Lee Smith all showed how it should be done.
