Have your say on the game

Dave Penney’s side had to withstand a mini-fightback from Barnet in the second period, but held out to secure another precious three points in the quest for promotion.

Jamie Paterson put the visitors in front after 12 minutes, latching on to a Paul Barnes pass to fire home from 18-yards out.

And it was Barnes who again provided the assist for Rovers’ second goal, with Robert Gill proving the beneficiary on 18 minutes.

Rovers were firmly in control of matters at the break, but Barnet started the second-half with greater purpose and were rewarded with a goal back, from Ian Hendon, on 52 minutes.

An equaliser looked a distinct possibility at this stage, but Rovers doused the flames of Barnet’s recovery with some steady defending and finished deserving winners.
