cooke not playing tomorrow got summat wrong with his foot, i think he ought to show the squadbuilder fund payee,s a sick note, coltonand hyde doubtfull fawcete should get a game.
hope sharlston do bring lots of fans should be a good atmosphere,i am sure not all amature clubs have fans as bad as queens did, all rovers fans will be made wellcome at the keepmoat, enjoy the game

Watched quite a few of their games on U Tube and I think it will be a tough game, very similar to the Queens match where they were really up for it.

'Summat wrong with his foot' is achilles trouble according to reports. Bad hand, bad foot ... what next?
As for the game tomorrow, does anyone else think that this is looking like it's going tits up preparation-wise?
Sharlston must be salivating!
I think the wheels are coming off all round personally.
Players lost are not replaced.
Players that come in don't appear.
All very depressing and familiar.

I've flipped from optimism to pessimism.
Some of the recent Superleague acquisitions are ordinary to say the least.
I hope I am proved wrong and that there actually is a cohesive plan.
Yes I know it's early days.
Let's have some kiwis and a bit of flair please!

Out of our squad any of the 17 who get the nod should be more than capable of winning the game thats no dis respect to sharlston who are a very good amatuer team but we have a sqaud who train 3 times a week and should be a cut above the amatuer game thats why we pick them. Im expecting a good spirited performance from sharlston but fitness and quality in right areas to pay off for us 38 12

yea i would agree, theyl give it a good go, but second half should be telling for the Dons, i would expect some points scored late on.

we played sharlston earlier in the year.they took the ball up well, and when needed sprayed it out wide, left centre was pacy and fullback when he came left, all in all should be a good game ,with the dons coming out on top after a hard 30/40 MINS coyd oh and we got hammered

just need to match their enthusiasm early on, then extra quality should tell

Thats how it should be !

FT Dons 57 v Sharlston 10

Final score Dons 57 Sharlston 10

Lee Waterman equalled try scoring record of 6 trys, Hodson 2 , hyde 2 & Sanderson 1.
Game marred by a brawl at the end . Dons had Dean O'Loughlin sent off for fighting plus no 10 for Sharlston who I thought was their best player.

The referee & touch judge had previousely missed an off the ball incident when Sharlston no 9 attacked Craig Fawcett to the head. Guess what no9 tackled Grant Edwards to the head & that lead to the brawl.

A good display by the Dons , shame Dean got involved , he can expect a ban .

i know watetman got man of the match, rightly so, but would just like to say i thought kyle kesik was outstanding

Kesik did have a good game & I thought Fawcett & Hyde linked well. Robbo also played well.
