    Team: Conor Gough, Michael Smith, Pat Keary, Tom Lockyer, Lee Brown, Josh Southway, Seanan Clucas, Ollie Norburn (Trey Anderson, 60), Mitch Harding, Eliot Richards (Ellis Harrison, 60), Fabian Broghammer (Alefe Santos, 60)

    Rovers raced into a two goal lead thanks to strikes from Fabian Broghammer and Eliot Richards, but Jeff Goulding pulled a goal back for Cheltenham on the stroke of half time and Adam Powell scored a deserved equaliser on 81 minutes.

    First half: Both sides made a bright start and Rovers took the lead after only 14 minutes when Broghammer hit an angled drive past Roberts from out on the left. As Cheltenham strived to get back on level terms, Rovers increased their lead just two minutes after going ahead. This time Broghammer turned provider, pulling the ball back to Eliot Richards who stroked the ball home from 12 yards. Josh Southway was unlucky not to add a third Rovers goal when his volley was deflected by a visiting defender on to the crossbar.
    Cheltenham then hit back strongly and scored a goal a minute before half time. Andrew's corner from the left was met by Goulding, who powered a header into the net.

    Second half: Cheltenham created a number of opportunities, while Rovers struggled to create anything up front. Gough had to make several saves and was helped by the upright from a fierce drive from Bagasan Graham and Goulding hit another effort just over the bar. The equaliser arrived when Graham crossed to the back post and substitute Powell was on hand to head past Gough.

    Cheltenham team: Connor Roberts, Kieran Thomas, Danny Andrew, Joe Hanks, Spencer Hamilton, Sido Jombati (Ed Williams, 56), Lawson D'Ath, Sam Deering (Adam Powell), Darryl Duffy, Jeff Goulding, Bagasan Graham.
