Louis Graham fired Rovers ahead on the brink of half time, only for Harry Southwell to level soon after the break.

Dale Webb restored Rovers’ lead and then former Sylvan Jack Medhurst made it 3-1 before and own goal and strikes by Chezney Payne and Webb, again, completed the scoring.

At the Track, Rangers collected three welcome FNB Priaulx League points by defeating Bels 2-0.

Shane Taylor missed a great early chance for Bels, but they got a let off themselves 20 minutes in when referee Tony Sarre adjudged a foul on Wayne Bishop but Marcus Queripel blazed the spot-kick over the bar.

Bishop eventually made the difference. After a storming run into the area by Zac Chatterton, Bishop finished things off and then added a second.
