Cheltenham 1-0 Rotherham: Match Report

30 December 2011 22:31

Millers sent packing

Marlon Pack's stunning 25-yard strike handed Cheltenham a 1-0 victory at home to promotion rivals Rotherham.

The midfield marvel drilled a low shot beyond goalkeeper Conrad Logan on 11 minutes to cap an impressive display.

The Robins should have added to their tally before half-time with Luke Garbutt forcing Logan into a hurried save when he let fly with a 35-yard effort.

Bagasan Graham drilled a shot across the face of goal on 18 minutes while Jimmy Spencer crashed a header just wide of the target on the half-hour.

After a promising opening ten minutes, Rotherham struggled to create anything of note before the break, Lewis Grabban going closest when he dragged a shot wide after holding off defender Steve Elliott.

The Robins continued to dominate the chances after the break with Spencer hitting the outside of the post midway through the half before substitute Kaid Mohamed, on the pitch for less than a minute, was denied by a full-length save.

Cheltenham keeper Scott Brown was finally forced into action late on to keep out a Brett Williams header but the home side ran out worthy winners.
