A LATE goal from Aaron Cornwall denied Rovers a morale-boosting win over ten-man Chippenham.
Jozsef Jakab fired Rovers into a sixth minute lead, beating the offisde trap to meet Les Hines' through ball, before thumping a shot into the bottom left hand corner.
But it wasn't long before the home side hit back through Richard Halliday.

The Greens defence switched off, allowing Halliday to run round to the back post and head home Kye Holly's 15th minute free-kick.
Tempers flared on 33 minutes when Leigh Downing was fouled by Halliday. A heated exchange followed between Rovers boss Duane Darby and Chippenham assistant Tom Callinan, and both men were sent to the stands.
Chippenham were dealt a double-blow on 58 minutes when Halliday was sent-off for a second booking, before Andy Jones put the Greens back in the lead after meeting Matt Birley's cross.
Mark Benbow thought he had wrapped up the points but was ruled offside after following up Downing's effort. But Cornwall delivered a cruel blow seven minutes from time, firing into the roof of the net after a mix-up between Benbow and McHale.
