Rovers play well only in parts as they lose on road

IT was a disappointing evening for Gresley Rovers as the were beaten 3-1 by Hucknall Town in thewir first away League match of the season on Wednesday.
-
Rovers did have moments in which they showed the kind of good football they have played so far this season but it was spasmodic and they struggled to deal with a forward line which included three former Moatmen in Lewis Belgrave, Niall Towle and Brad Wells - who all scored.
Rovers were under the cosh from the kickoff and keeper Brad Catlow had to make a good save to deny yet another former Moatman, Calrick Dunkley.
But the save was in vain as the half-cleared ball was crossed from the left and the unmarked Towle headed home after six minutes.
Dylan Hunniford went close to levelling four minutes later but home keeper Alfie Smith-Eccles saved.
