Today's game saw rover take on top of the league Eldon Celtic who had won 9 out of 9 there was a couple of changes to the team today
Chris cordery came in for mike Rundle in goal & Adam Lee came in for his debut for the injured Liam Naish.
Eldon Celtic have on fire this season beating teams 6,7,8,9s to 0
Game started off with Eldon having a lot of the ball and they made that count after 7 mins when a shot came in witch keeper cordery saved hit LB Connor Naish on the back went back towards the goals and LM Matt Hall couldn't stop it going over the line
5 mins later Eldon scored again with a move down the right hand side the winger got to the touch line pulled it back to the forward on the edge of the box he turned 3 players on the turn and smashed it with in the bottom left corner.
After the second goal rovers went back to basics and went 4-1-4-1 and started to get a foothold in the game forward Adam Lee was work hard up top on his own chasing balls down the wing and making it hard for defenders.
Adam lee had a couple of shots that just went wide of the post but rovers were playing a bit better and was starting to look like the better side then HT came

2nds half started well for rovers who knocked the ball around nicely then 5 mins in rovers got the goal they needed it came from Dale Beeches
The goal came from a ball played from midfielder Lewis Woodgates witch forward Adam Lee chased down made the GK miss control and fell to Dale beeches right foot and knocked it into a empty net from 20 yards
Connor Naish was getting on the ball a lot more in the 2nd half and was making things tick in the midfield winger Ryan Hilton was a outlet on the right with his pace and CB Adam battiemlli & Brian Parr were solid at CB with Nick & Dom at full backs
Rovers had a couple of half chances Woodgates hit the post Lee had a 1on 1 witch the kepper saved
Eldon Celtic looked lost at times and never really tested GK cordery all 2nd half
Eldon broke away from a rovers attacking move and the forward was fouled by (I think ) Lewis Woodgates
The about 25 yards out in the centre of the box. The forward of Eldon Celtic his a thunder bolt witch was flying into the top corner but GK Cordery tipped the free kick
Onto the inside of the post and then got up to pullb the ball into his arms
Hall had a chance with 5 mins to go but chose to pass rather than shoot from just outside the box Then forward Lee hit a volley just over the bard with 30 seconds left
It was team MOTM but if I had to pick 1 Lewis Woodgates would just edge it in front of Adam Lee
Players ratings were done by Secretary Adie Reid as I was playing :)
