Bristol Rovers were comfortable winners over Dagenham & Redbridge in this League Two fixture, played on the Easter Monday. After The Pirates went 2–0 up inside six minutes, the Daggers never looked like matching their visitors.
An injury to first choice 'keeper Steve Mildenhall meant a late callup for Conor Gough, who made his first start of the season, leaving Rovers without a backup goalie on the bench.
Loanee John-Joe O'Toole marked his last appearance for The Gas before returning to Colchester United by opening the scoring in the fourth minute, and Oumare Tounkara doubled the advantage two minutes later. Defender Danny Woodards made it 3–0 on 20 minutes, before Ben Strevens pulled a goal back for the home side just prior to the half hour mark.
Oumare Tounkara scored his second goal of the game on what was his first start for the Bristolians 15 minutes into the second half, and the scoring was completed by Dagenham's Jake Reed three minutes later.
