FOREST Green Rovers enjoyed a tumultuous reintroduction to the National League on a thrilling afternoon which could have swung either way in a dramatic 90 minutes.

In the end, both managers, Tommy Widdrington and Steve Cotterill, agreed that a draw was a fair result after Aldershot Town raced into a two-goal lead but then had to snatch a late draw after resurgent Rovers showed their attacking quality.

Young striker Hady Ghandour scored his first goals for the club inside the opening 13 minutes as the hosts threatened to run riot.

“He couldn’t hit a cow’s backside with a banjo in pre-season, and I thought he needed the pitch exorcising, but he keeps getting into the right places,” admitted Widdrinngton, who remained phlegmatic on taking a point.
