10 men Rovers beaten by Marlow

WORDS: Joanne McDougall

The Rovers suffered a late 0-2 loss to Marlow to drop to down to 17th on the league table this Saturday.

In the 23rd minute, Rovers' Tom Chenery was booked with a yellow after a foul tackle on the opposition.

Marlow’s Matt Burrows proved crucial to keeping the score level at half-time after blocking two on target goals from the Rovers.

An injury from Rover’s Tyrone Shiham brought the first half to a close with Connor Bernhardt as his replacement.

The second half kicked off with both sides remaining strong in their attack and defence.

Powfil Raposo put a strong cross into the box, with Rawn Seale unable to find the net.

In the 81st minute the ground roared in a case of mistaken identity after a Rovers booking.

Marlow closed the second half with strong pace and pressure, forcing a penalty in the 90th minute.

The away side cemented their win with a second, after winning a head-to-head in the goalkeepers attempt to clear the ball.
