Match report: Bristol Rovers 1-1 Gillingham

By Alex Slater  Tuesday Sep 17, 2019

Thomas O’Connor’s late effort for Gillingham prevented Rovers from taking all three points from a game they should have put to bed long before the visitors were able to level.

The lively Tyler Smith drove the Gas into a half-time lead that they narrowly deserved, and then after the break Rovers stepped up their dominance but failed to score a second goal.

Gillingham included two of last season’s Pirates in their starting lineup. Jack Bonham, who kept goal for Rovers with great distinction last season while on-loan from Brentford, is now a Gillingham player.
