65 mins Swinton 14 - Dons 30

Try FAwcett

Cracking step from him as well..

72 mins Swinton 14 Dons 36

Try Emmett

Full time

Cooke got MoM

Think Fawcett, Waterman, Sanderson (who kicked perfectly even from out wide) deserve mentions of note

excellent apart from 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after half time, Cooke just controlled the game, Emmett had a stormer as did Powley but Lee Waterman for me was my MOM outstanding both attack and defence, Credit to all the players and coaching staff

A few weeks back I couldn't see them winning an away game. They have just won four out of the last five.
Top marks Donny.
COYD

Good win and well done to all concerned.

Good performances from Cooke waterman emmett and fawcett! Noticed the difference when powley came on he doesn't have the same control over the game like emmett had! Semi-finals!! COYD.

Draw for the semi final's on BBC Radio Leeds Sunday 16th June at 4.50pm. Frequency is 92.4 on your FM (suprised Radio Sheffield won't have it on) Massive tongue in cheek comment

What about the discipline NO penalties, still not sure about Nathan made a couple of wrong decisions when to pass.

Men of match Cooke, Emmett , Waterman .

We do look better when Waller , Cas & Emmett are on the pitch,

Well done the Dons, Tony nearly smiled .

Dons Through to Semi-finals of the Northern Rail Cup

Doncaster RLFC are through to the semi-finals of the Northern Rail Cup after an excellent 36-14 win at Swinton Lions.

Dons wingman Stewart Sanderson bagged a personal haul of 16 points with a try and a 100% success rate with his six conversions.

Further tries from Chris Spurr, Danny Cowling, Lee Waterman, Craig Fawcett and Mike Emmett sealed the win in front of the Premier Sports Cameras.

The Dons raced into a 18-0 lead after 25 minutes but were pegged back by Swinton who scored two unconverted tries before the break to give the visitors a 10 point advantage.

The Lions came out strong in the second forty and scored a six pointer to make it 18-14 and the comeback was on for the home team.

However, second half scores from Waterman, Fawcett and Emmett guaranteed that the Dons would be the first name to go into the hat for the semi-final draw that will take place live on BBC local radio on Sunday 16th June at approximately 4:50pm.

BBC Radio Leeds will conduct the draw live from their studios following their broadcast of the quarter-final tie between Batley Bulldogs and Workington Town. The draw will also be broadcast live by BBC Radio Cumbria and BBC Radio Manchester.

Congratulations to the Dons on a well deserved win.

Also credit to the fans who made the journey over to Leigh which incidentally has been the ground we play from for the last two seasons in answer to an earlier post.

Good luck in the Semi Finals and hopefully the Final.

Thanks Marshy
