Will Hoskins hit his 15th goal of the season to set Bristol Rovers on course for a 3-1 home win over Swindon Town.
The striker ran onto a throughball from Chris Lines to confidently shoot past Phil Smith after seven minutes and Jo Kuffour capitalised on a defensive mix-up to fire the second in just after the break. Jon-Paul McGovern gave Swindon hope with a superbly struck 66th-minute volley after a mistake by the otherwise reliable David McCracken. But Jeff Hughes stole in at the near post to head home a Hoskins cross after 74 minutes to settle the outcome. Rovers deserved the points, which earned new boss Dave Penney his first win, although Swindon were enjoying a good spell when Hughes struck the decisive third goal. Home goalkeeper Luke Daniels played his part, doing well to save a 49th-minute header from Charlie Austin.
