The Bucks, who lost striker Steve Jones to a calf injury in the warm-up, survived several spells of sustained pressure from their hosts.

Wes Burns' header over and Yan Klukowski's break away strike, which was saved by Ryan Young, were among their best chances in the first half.

And the pressure increased after the break with Rovers substitute Kieron Forbes going close on the hour mark.

The Bucks also survived a frantic goalmouth scramble in stoppage time to earn a share of the spoils.

The game saw the first team debut of Telford academy player Tom Bradley as a second half substitute while fellow academy player James O'Neill made his first senior start.
