Rovers Start Quickly, Gillingham Settle
The visitors had the better of the opening exchanges, with chances for Bobby Kamwa and Shaq Forde that both missed the target. Gillingham slowly found their feet and should have led when Harry Waldock's cross found Ronan Hale, whose right-footed drive was turned aside by a brilliant save from Brad Young.
