Cheltenham Town Upsets Bristol Rovers in League Two Opener

CHELTENHAM, England (Interstat) — Jonathan Tomkinson’s 70th-minute goal lifted Cheltenham Town to a 1-0 victory over Bristol Rovers in a League Two match Saturday at EV Charger Points Stadium. The midfielder, who also received a yellow card, provided the decisive finish in a game where the hosts defied a pregame projection of a draw. The result, which was more lopsided than the score suggests, gave Cheltenham a winning start to its season. Bristol Rovers failed to find the net, beginning its campaign with a loss. The physical match featured five yellow cards, including one for Cheltenham’s James Wilson in the 13th minute.
