Game def on people!!! COYD!!!

Doncaster Rugby League Club made it two wins out of two in 2013 with a well-deserved 36-22 victory over fellow Championship side Keighley Cougars at the Keepmoat Stadium.

This pre-season friendly was played in good spirits and it didn't take the hosts long to take the lead when second rower Chris Spurr went over for a well worked try after seven minutes. Wakefield's Bobby Goulding junior, making his debut for the club, added the extras.

The blue and gold's played some great rugby league in the first forty and extended their lead to 24-0 with well taken tries from Lee Waterman and Grant Edwards before a tremendous touchline hugging score from new signing Dennis Tuffour.

Goulding made no mistake and landed all three kicks, including one from the touchline, before the Cougars pulled a converted try back in the last two minutes of the half to trail 24-6 at the break.

Keighley, who made last season's play-offs under former head coach Jason Demetriou, came out firing in the second half and quickly registered two tries to make the score 24-16 to add some pressure on the home side.

However, Brett Waller, the Dons big prop making a promising home debut, powered over for a well-deserved try and another Goulding conversion gave the Dons breathing space at 30-16.

19 year-old Goulding, who impressed throughout the game, made a great cross field kick to winger Stuart Sanderson who dived over in the corner to extend the Dons lead to 34-16.

The son of the former Great Britain half-back Goulding senior made it six out of six with another superb touchline conversion before Scott Leatherbarrow converted his own try to have the final say of the game. The final score therefore stood at 36-22 to the 2012 Championship One winners.

The home side were good value for money considering this was the Cougars fourth run out of their pre-season campaign. A number of players shone including Waterman, Tuffour, Waller, Mark Castle and man of the match Goulding, who is set to become a dual registered player for the club.

Dons head coach Tony Miller was understandably very pleased with his team's performance who will now play Super League club Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in their last pre-season friendly on Sunday 27th January at the Keepmoat Stadium (3pm kick-off).

For his first game back from injury I thought he did very well

it was his second game back. He played ok. Hes got a long way to go to get some fitness back

To say that when he broke it, he wasn't expected to be back until June time, I'd say he's recovered pretty well, he just needs to get back to full fitness and strength.

which is what i said.. he needs to get fitness back & he has some time to go to do that...
