Reserves Draw 1-1 With Wrexham

It was Wrexham who took the lead midway through the first half before Jake Kirby had a shot charged down at the other end.  Tolani Omotola equalised early in the second half with a low shot past the Wrexham keeper after he outmuscled a defender to get on the end of Ben Jago's pass.  Both Kirby and Hume went close to a winner for Rovers as the sides ended up with a point apiece.
