Tranmere continue to re-ignite their Sky Bet League Two play-off ambitions after grinding out a 1-0 victory against Notts County at Prenton Park.
Connor Jennings grabbed the only goal of the game in the 69th minute, leaving rock-bottom County with nothing to show for their substantial efforts.
Former Wrexham captain Jennings came close in the first half when Ryan Schofield tipped a sumptuous volley over the bar.
Tranmere were finding their opponents a tough nut to crack but just before half-time Schofield prevented Ben Barclay from scoring an own goal with another full-stretch save.
It looked like Rovers would struggle to make the breakthrough, but with just over 20 minutes remaining, Ben Pringle capitalised on a loose header in the middle of the park and drove at the Magpies defence before playing in Jennings to convert his fifth league goal of the season.
James Norwood was denied a second Tranmere goal by Schofield, before substitute Virgil Gomez shot just wide of Scott Davies' goal late on but Rovers held on for a hard-earned victory - their third in four matches.
