Joe Akpan’s strike made up for a dominant first-half performance against runaway leaders Bolton as Dale looked to put last weekend’s result behind them.
A rejuvenated The Whites came out for the second 45 and hit back level ten minutes into the second half when David Abimbola tapped in at the back post.
The young lads’ next outing with another home game when Rotherham United head to Platt Lane on Saturday.
Dale XI | Nicholson, Burgess, Akpan, Edghill, Clift, Dunlop, Dos Santos, Cooper, Kelly, Edwards, Bispo Martinez.
Subs | Bailey, Mann, Rae, Chukwugbo
