Oliver Norburn scored a sensational last gasp goal to mug a point off
Cheltenham.
Midfielder Norburn let rip with a 35 yard scorcher for his second of the campaign in the 95th minute that left keeper Scott Brown grasping at thin air.
Shaun Harrad had scored his second goal in two games to put the Robins ahead in first half injury time.
Hot shot Harrad has now scored eight goals in nineteen league starts since joining on a season long loan from Bury and he grabbed his latest in first half injury time.
Winger Kaid Mohamed's low shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Tom Parkes and Harrad pounced on the loose ball to drill home from twelve yards.
Cheltenham came close to opening the scoring in the 25th minute, but former Rovers defender Steve Elliott saw his header nodded off the line by full back Michael Smith.

Ward has seen Rovers lose only one game in seven since returning for a second stint as boss in December and he gushed:
"It was an absolutely fantastic goal. One that could grace any level of the game. A great strike. I'm going to need heart tablets with finishes like that.
I know I'm biased, but I felt we deserved something from the game and it's a point against a side I think will get automatic promotion."
Stunned Robins chief Mark Yates groaned:
"The players will have to pick me up at the moment.
Rovers deserved a point, but shouldn't have got it the way they did. I'm shell shocked."
