They twice had to come from behind to rescue a point, with George Broadbent and Luke Molyneux both netting in the second half.
The blustery and swirling wind made it almost impossible for either side to string together any coherent passing sequences. It was perhaps then no surprise that the opener came from a result of those conditions. The visitors took a surprise early lead when a flash across the box was put into his own net by Owen Bailey after Rovers failed to clear their lines.
Rovers should have drawn level before the break but Joseph Olowu missed a golden chance when he botched a header wide when free from a corner. They did equalise ten minutes after the restart, though: Broadbent firing home a long-range stunner that crashed in off a post.
Sadly the feelgood factor lasted barely a minute as Cheltenham went up the other end and restored their lead. Ethon Archer's curled attempt went straight in although it was unclear at first glance whether it took a deflection on its way past Ted Sharman-Lowe.
Rovers rallied and eventually levelled again, this time through Luke Molyneux. He swept home after a clever pull-back from sub Jack Senior.
Despite being on top, the hosts couldn't fashion another clear chance as honours ended even in DN4 for a third straight game. Here's our Rovers player ratings

A bright spark early doors, trying his best to make something happen. A few potshots here and there. Replaced just after the restart. Booked. Photo: Tony Johnson

10. Joe Ironside 6
Battled, as he always does. A few sniffs at goal but most of his game was about causing Cheltenham's backline problems so others could try and capitalise. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD

11. Billy Sharp 4
Never got out of first gear in truth. Tried to link up play but wasn't happening and was sacrificed at the interval. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD

12. Jack Senior 7
Slotted in on the left of defence and wasn't overly troubled. Teed up Molyneux brilliantly, just seconds after being flattened near the byline. Heart of a lion. Photo: Howard Roe/AHPIX LTD
