A great effort and 16 players who didn't deserve to end up losing.

Heartbreaking is the word I'm hearing from most people.
I'm just gutted. This is why we do it though isn't it? Sport can be both incredibly cruel or totally uplifting and the margins can be so fine. I feel incredibly sorry for all involved.

The Dons' players must be feeling sick.

The play-offs now look like this:

Week One: N Wales v Keighley & Dons v Hunslet (loser is eliminated)

Week Two: Loser of N Wales v Keighley plays Winner of Dons v Hunslet (loser is eliminated)
Week Two: Workington v Winner of N Wales v Keighley (loser gets a second chance)

And one of those played the second half on one leg (heroic effort by Brandon Douglas)

A massive for all the lads today.

A heroic effort after being a man down when 12-0.
No comment on the sending off as i couldnt see from the East Stand .
Some big efforts today , Douglas on 1 leg battled on as did others .

Some fans on TRL site now have Keighley has favourites for the second promotion spot. Not sure they would be writing that if they had been at the Keepmoat this afternoon. Any how if we are going to achieve something out of this torrid year its going to be hard yards and tired bodies.

Dear Lord can we have at least one of our regular half backs returning soon. And that is not taking anything at all away from young Jake Sweeting who had a really good game today and appears to me to be growing in stature.

Or buy seed on a budget and get an inferior crop

2 rumoured signings for next season I heard today beggar belief. If true then I'd be astonished and delighted in equal measure. I suspect there's no truth in either though so best assume not

Tease

The attendance was poor. I think the announcer said 776 and that included quite a few from Keighley. Down from last week's declared figure of over 1100 when next to no one from Coventry was here.

It's really disappointing that we can't get more for such vital games.

Go on Rob, put us out of our misery....

I'm guessing that last weeks attendance was influenced by the past players being present and the parents / families of the children involved pre-match.
