After being held to a draw at home Forest Green Rovers went to fellow Conference Mansfield Town (managed by David Holdsworth) and came away with a great victory last night at Field Mill.CONAL PLATT curled a 20-yard free-kick into the top corner to give Rovers a deserved lead just before half time but with 20 minutes to go the Stags were level, Kyle Perry heading Gary Silk's cross into the bottom corner.
Then with Mansfield pinning Rovers into their own box as they desperately held on for extra time, the visitors broke away and CONAL PLATT scored his second converting Sean Rigg's cross.
Forest Green now face a West Country non-League derby at Bath City in round two.
