Shelton Martis scored the only goal of the game in front of the live Sky TV cameras, when the sides met in Rovers first season back in the Championship in 2008/09.

The two sides served up a six-goal thriller at the Keepmoat last season. Rovers looked to be cruising to victory thanks to a Waide Fairhurst goal with only twenty-four minutes remaining.

Joe Colbeck equalised before Martin Woods fired Rovers back into the lead.

Rovers earned a point with just six minutes remaining when Quinton Fortune fired home his only goal for the club.
