Rovers took the lead after 24 minutes when, with the ball going past Faringdon keeper Chris Webb for an own goal, Michael Beal ensured it crossed the line.

Faringdon equalised in the 44th minute when Gary Sutton headed in.

The winning goal came in the 54th minute when Hooper headed home from a corner.

Faringdon twice had shots cleared off the line in a frantic finish.
