Reserves Draw With Villa

Both managers fielded young side's with Carling Cup commitments this week and it was the home side that took the lead in the 65th minute courtesy of former Manchester United midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba.

However, substitute Joe Garner scored a stoppage time equaliser to earn Rovers a share of the spoils.
