"It was very disappointing to concede such a late goal after playing some very good football at times."

Downham equalised five minutes later with a goal that had a suspicion of offside but Bass was moved the home side 2-1 ahead with 10 minutes remaining.
Goddy goalkeeper Stuart Chapman saved a stoppage time penalty after an Andy Watkins handball but a late, late, leveller saw the points slip away.
* Rovers travel to mid-table Great Yarmouth Town on Saturday.
