ROVERS Under-23s have progressed to the knockout stages of the Premier League Cup after a 3-0 win at Cardiff City.
Damien Johnson’s side sit top of Group B ahead of their final match with Southampton on Monday at Leyland which will decide who progresses as group winners.
Rovers were on course for victory after just 10 minutes in which they built up a two goal advantage.
Tyler Magloire put them one up after six minutes before Lewis Mansell doubled the lead shortly afterwards.
That was how it stayed until nine minutes in to the second half when Joe Nuttall turned in from close range.
Lewis Travis came through 90 minutes as he continues to serve his suspension at first-team level, while Willem Tomlinson, an unused substitute against Bury on Monday, also featured.
Rovers have progressed to the last 16 with 10 points from their five matches with three wins, one draw and a solitary defeat against Southampton who they face at Leyland on Monday (7pm).
