Bristol Rovers 3 - 0 Carlisle
Chris Lines scored his first goal for Bristol Rovers as they sealed their first win in five games against fourth-placed Carlisle.
Rovers began the day one point above the relegation zone while Carlisle were just four points behind leaders Swansea. But the visitors fell foul to two first-half strikes.
Lines headed in Stuart Campbell's cross and Craig Hinton doubled Bristol's lead within the opening 15 minutes, stabbing home a Campbell corner.
Andrew Williams made it three mid-way through the second half with a curling right-foot effort from 18 yards.
Adam Lockwood scored his second goal in as many games to send Doncaster fourth in the table after despatching Southend 3-1.
Defender Lockwood headed home Brian Stock's cross in the seventh minute to give Doncaster an early lead.
Southend levelled ten minutes later through Charlie MacDonald but midfielder Paul Green restored Doncaster's lead on the half-hour mark from a Stock corner.
Gareth Roberts made it 3-1 shortly before half-time. Stock was again the provider, crossing from the left for Roberts to hit a rare 18-yard volley into the bottom-left corner.
