Rovers Are Rolling On!

Mellon’s men close in with polished display

- Richard Garnett

MICKY Mellon lavished praise on his Tranmere Rovers side as a whole after clocking up another impressive home win over Ebbsfleet that moves them menacingly to within two points of the National League summit.

Andy Cook and James Norwood gave rampant Rovers a 2-0 half-time lead before the latter clocked up his 50th goal for the club, extending the Birkenhead side’s winning run at Prenton Park to eight matches.

The match also saw the return from injury of star winger Ben Tollitt, with a late substitute cameo, but Mellon was more than satisfied with the collective effort.

He said: “We’re pleased to get the result, delighted to score three goals and get a clean sheet at home, keeping that home record going – it’s obviously very pleasing. A good day’s work.

“We worked very hard and there were some professional men’s performances all over the pitch. I’m really pleased to be able to get people like Tollitt and Mangy on.
