TWO second half goals helped Bromsgrove Rovers win 3-1 at Stratford Town last Saturday.

The visitors led four minutes from half time when Richard Tompkins slid the ball underneath Starkey and Marcus Jackson doubled Rovers' advantage on 50 minutes.

Stratford's pressure told on 74 minutes when Tompkins felled Jimmy Steer on the edge of the area and Evans headed home Spacey's free-kick.

Both sides had goals ruled out for offside before Rovers wrapped the game up ten minutes from time through Peter Sutton. Stratford had another effort ruled out late on.
