Bristol Rovers were in two places at once on Tuesday evening, with differing fortunes for Joey Barton's divided squad at Bath City and Chippenham Town.
The Gas decided to split into two teams to maximise the available playing time for their players as the new season nears, and it was a worthwhile exercise in that regard with the majority of players getting 90 minutes under their belt.
The team that travelled to Chippenham's Hardenhuish Park were in good form, claiming a 4-1 win thanks to braces from new signing John Marquis and the highly impressive Harvey Saunders, but the Gas were beaten at Twerton Park.
