One thing thats impressed me Rob is that even after 20 odd consecutive defeats the heads have never dropped.They came out today and wanted it and ended up winning. Will be a massive boost for the lads today.

6 letters explain today. DESIRE. I knew we were going to win from the moment the first hit went in.

Well done to all the lads this afternoon an excellent and committed performance from 1-17 and all the backroom staff. Great performance from Shaun Leaf & what a tackle, good to see Ben Collins get over his mistake early in the game and then pose a threat for 70 mins.

Hope the York player is nt out too long, I would nt like Jamie Bovill near the back of my leg.

On a slightly different note, I've taken a couple of hours out from sorting the photos out from today, and have watched the Another Bloody Sunday DVD I have. Its seeing the likes of Tom Morton and Stuart Piper and their associates striving to save the club during those times that make me happy to have a club to support, and seeing Tom at the game today with so many former players and staff from the 70's, 80's, 90's and onwards also present reminds me of this.

Its a shame the likes of Kevin Parkhouse, Mark Roache and St. John Ellis aren't here to support the club through these times, their desire to succeed, (especially in the case of Singe) would have been a great support to Carl, Ray, Adam and everyone else who is involved in the running of the club.

I'm off to find the Grand Final DVD now.. I'm in that sort of mood.

Great stuff from the lads today, they showed lots of pride and passion
and plenty of skill too.

Entertaining game from a Dons supporters point of view (don't think the York mob
would've seen it that way

), lots of big hits, good running, good
passing, great kick and chase, bags of commitment.

I really hope this is a corner turned

.

My favourite moment...

...I think it was probably pinching the ball out of their
scrum then running on to score. Don't see that too often these days - Magic !!

Tough game on Friday, I won't be there unfortunately (I'm working late) but I will be
there on Monday.

I don't care what anybody says about Doncaster RLFC. This club is worth sticking by
just for days like today and hopefully we will enjoy more 'todays' as the season progresses.

Well done Donny !!

COME ON YOU DONS!!!

Bed time now after a sublime day.
My voice is ho (god I must be a nightmare to sit near) and my head hurts.......but what the heck.....it's not everyday the Dons win.






We didn't just beat York either we walloped them....roll on Hunslet.
If we play like that Hunslet might as well not turn up.


Sorry I'm getting carried away.

AM I reading this right, we won??? 40-26 wow, nice job lads! Great news i may have to pop out and have a few to celebrate

I bet they were sat on their clouds watching the game and enjoying every minute !!

Yep.

Bet you're feeling better about today than you were when I saw you yesterday.

I feel very chipper, mate, very chipper !!

I can go into work tomorrow with my head held high, pride restored.

I won't be taking any lip off my Rugby Union watching colleagues either, that for sure

I'm knackered. I've watched two blood and thunder rugby matches this weekend, and for some strange reason, its taken all of my energy.

How many games have we won in a row now? is it 1 or 26....I forget?





As an interesting aside, in the Dons History we have won every time we have had a female official! FACT!

YES! A win at last and what a performance!

Well done to all at the club for beating not only the opposition but the doubters too. I firmly believe we can kick on from here and finish in a respectable position.

COYD!

Interesting indeed.

And now a piece of Shakespeare that I came out with at the match........Hamlet I believe.


''Alas poor Yorrrrrrk, we screwed them well''.

I got some criticism before the game for my "a win is coming when we start scoring from close range" comment in the week

Don't know why.....you were right.

Not at all. It was good to get a bit of atmosphere going at the game. In the second half it was like being back at Tattersfiled. By the way i was sat in front of you!

According to Rugby league site 532

You should have introduced yourself.


I really must tone down a bit though....I was getting involved.
I don't usually shout at refs.

I phoned Radio Sheffield this morning and had a right go. Every week when driving to work they mention in their sports bulletin, the fact we had lost, to depress me more on my way to the office.

This morning, looking forward to the reminder, no flipping mention. I rang up and complained, not sure if it did any good. Also asked if it was because sheffield werent playing yesterday that we dont get a mention
