Danny Coles and Jo Kuffour scored to give Rovers an impressive victory.
County captain Michael Raynes embarrassingly headed over his own keeper Owain Fon Williams to allow Kuffour to claim an easy opener.
Williams then produced a good save to deny Jeff Hughes, but Coles headed home from the resulting corner.
County might have halved the deficit when Carl Baker's shot was defLected wide, but otherwise Rovers never looked like being pegged back.
