Forest Green 3-1 Altrincham

Forest Green Rovers continued their fine start to the new season with a convincing win over Altrincham at The New Lawn on Saturday afternoon.

Danny Bertram opened the scoring after five minutes with a cool finish from the edge of the box but Joe O'Neill shocked the home side when he headed home an equaliser for the visitors on 35 minutes.

It was, however, just the motivation Rovers needed and they proceeded to up the ante with two goals in three minutes at the start of the second half.

Simon Clist made no mistake with an easy chance inside the penalty area, while Lee Dodgson's well-hit drive made it three just three minutes later.
