A solitary goal in the first half for the visitors was doubled early in the second with a cruel deflection taking the ball past the Heslerton keeper.

Three amazing strikes followed to give Rovers a deserved 5-0 win but credit to Heslerton who battled throughout and continue to do so as they find themselves out of their depth in Division One. Tommy Palmer was named man of the match.
