A return to winning ways, as Josh got of the mark for his new team, and Alfie, bagged one in each half, in an efficient display, to beat Stafford Utd 3-1.
It was clear from the start that Rovers meant business, as they got the ball down and stroked it around.
With Shaun and Tyrell missing George partnered Jack B at the back at the two of them looked completely assured, George couldn't resist the odd foray forward, while Jack was more steady, snuffing out most threats posed by the red front line. Jack D played up and down the right flank and put in a shift which saw him combining well with Jack F, who terrier like never gave up on a ball and after a good piece of interplay between these two Jack F played the ball sweetly through the narrowest of gaps for the onrushing Josh to slot home and claim his first for Rovers. He was delighted and so were his team-mates who mobbed him in their celebration, leaving him in no-doubt that he is a welcome new addition to the team.
Alfie made it two before half time and Riley almost made it three as the midfield general saw an audacious lob from outside the box go just wide.
In the second half Stafford Utd pulled one back through Cameron, but any thoughts of a come-back were short lived as Dorrell took control of the ball on the right playing Alfie in for his second and Rovers' third. His strike from the edge of the box was enough to kill off the game as a contest and while Jacks B and F were both unlucky not to extend the lead first from a corner and then from open play it remained 3-1 until the end. Josh and Jack F shared the Man of the Match award although there were other contenders, and the Rovers went home happy with 3 points gained, and proud of a professional performance. The season isn't over yet and Warren Town still have some tough games to play.
