Blinking heck ESO efficient or what

I don't mess about me.

Decent game for a pre season.
Doncaster looked a useful side and will be one of the teams to watch. The Sanderson try was a great one for the home fans at least - sloppy how he got the ball but he made good use of it especially with Misi and Memzie in pursuit.

Dom Brambani MOTM for me but good performances by Eagles 2 and the blond haired lad. Can we have a pre season do e.g. a post training session at DVS where we can meet the new faces please perhaps when the new kit arrives? It's bad enough at DVS recognising the players who have been here a while never mind the new faces.

Sam Williamson - a young Faz? Similar backside (sorry Sam) and I'll be more than happy if he turns out as good as him but there is every chance he will.

Why do Donny fans have to moan and swear as much as they do?

Alright ladies and gents...is Shorteagle still around these parts?

Dom MoM for me too, also think Williamson looks like a great prospect.

Only occasionally, he moderates our TotalRL forum that no one goes on.

Shorteagle is Living in Barrow but I'm sure he will be attending as many home games as possible.

If you see him around, pass on my regards


About the game, I'm happy from a Dons point of view and considering the division we're in our performances in the 2 friendlies have been great.

For your lot, agree with Brambani being your MoM, you definitely threatened more when he was on the pitch

A decent run out for the lads today against what turned out to be better opposition than we expected. I agree Sam Williamson looks a good prospect. The younger and new players showed up generally well, which bodes well for the future. However we still need to work on not giving away as many penalties, the perennial problem. MOM had to be Dom Brambani. The Workington game in the NRC will be interesting!!

Also - if there were 600 there then I'm a bl*de.

And from where I was (the other side of the ground to everyone else) there seemed to be more Eagles fans than Donny fans. Thought there might have been a few more there from Doncaster with the good vibe there seems to be around the club at the moment.

A thoroughly enjoyable day out.

I reckon Donny will go well in CC1 if they keep playing like that.

Agree with Dom as MOTM & Sam Williamson as a great prospect. Thought Liam H, Knowlesy & QLT put good stints in as well. A good run out - lots to work on, but plenty of positives as well.

I would say the attendance figure was correct - well boosted by eagles fans - just hope we can see as many at the Shay, POR or Mount Unpleasant!

Think I will get a season ticket afterall - just hope I don't get too many Friday Night gigs.

Credit Doncaster, i thought they were excellent. Signs are promising there.

With regard us, we kept trying to be too smart when there was no need. The simple stuff won through in the end. I know it was a half first team-half junior team and game time will only help and i wish the young lads well. Sam Williamson looked very bright and good to see Eddie Battye get a shift. I was impressed with Michael Knowles and D Straff.

Great turnout by the Eagles fans, lets try for more for the NRC game in a few weeks.

Thankyou for the good turnout of Eagles fans on Sunday.
The Dons should get some promotion work and special offers on to try and crack the 1,000 barrier for the gate in the NRC game.
