    Rovers vs Exeter in a reserve game this afternoon. Rovers won 2-1.

    * There was an early chance for Billy Bodin but his shot, from Jake Gosling’s cross, was well saved by Christy Pym.

    * Mildenhall had saved a shot that was deflected off of Tyler Lyttle.

    * Pym made another fine save from Bodin.

    * Mildenhall conceded a penalty twenty minutes in when he rushed out of his goal in an attempt to clear a ball, but he only succeeded in bringing down an Exeter player. However Mildenhall dived low to his left to save Cameron Reid’s spot kick.

    * Exeter's Reid hit the upright with a ferocious drive.

    * Bodin fired wide when well placed.

    * Half time 0-0.

    * Three minutes into the second half Cristian Montano fired Rovers into the lead when he hit a ferocious angled drive beyond Pym and into the far corner of the net.

    * Seven minutes later Montano turned provider, crossing from the left to Jamie Lucas who hit a fine volley past Pym to double the lead.

    * Lucas might have scored a second, but hit another volley wide of the target.

    * Exeter had a scuffed effort cleared off the line by Rovers substitute Bradley Confrey.

    * Exeter pulled a goal back with five minutes remaining, when Alfie Kilgour was adjudged to have committed a foul in the area and Gill beat Mildenhall from their second spot kick of the game. Mildenhall couldnt repeat his first half penalty save.

    * Rovers had to withstand some late pressure from Exeter but held out to preserve their lead.

    Look at the line up, its none of them of course <laugh>
    The 2 unused sub's... Its not them.
    4 sub's used, only Broom I know. The other 3 sub's I don't. I'm guessing 1, 2 or 3 of them are trialists. Don't know all youngsters so not sure.
