DMW October 26, 1999

THE five goal fiesta against Rocester seemed a distant memory as Rovers returned to their sloppy habits in front of goal.

The homesters created half a dozen chances to send Bedworth packing but failed to convert any of them.

Richards Ball and Congrave both fired tamely wide before a tepid game burst into life three minutes before the break.

Rovers had a let off when Christie McKenzie's header struck the angle of post and bar but it proved a short-lived reprieve.

Four minutes into injury time, Wayne Dyer ran onto Antony Robinson's back heel and evaded a couple of weak challenges before firing wide of Gabbidon.

Clear-cut chances were few and far between in a second half that rapidly descended into farce.

Greenbacks keeper Craig Glover comfortably dealt with efforts from Congrave and Tom Davies, the second following an excellent burst by the inspired Ryan Daley.

Rovers: Gabbidon, Ashley, Ulfig, Davies, Winstone, Dodd, Benbow, Ball (sub Jinks 78), Congrave (sub Cummings 90), Daley, Bytheway. Sub (unused): Bannister.

Attendance: 329. Rovers MoM: Ryan Daley.
