Craig Curran scored the only goal of the game as Tranmere extended their lead at the top of the Pontin's Holidays League Division One West with a win over Rochdale at Prenton Park.

The striker volleyed in from the edge of the area in the second minute in one of the few chances on goal throughout the whole game.

Rovers keeper John Achterberg was rarely tested, while Calvin Zola had a couple of efforts go wide at the other end.

The result moves Jason McAteer's side four points clear of Oldham who drew 1-1 earlier in the day against Blackpool.

Tranmere: Achterberg, Holmes, McGarry, P. Jones, Cresswell, Ferguson, Jennings, Henry, Beahon, Zola, Curran. Substitutes not used: McWeeney, Roberts, Blundell, Gornell.
