Firstly well done on gaining promotion after a thrilling season last year and all the best for the remainder of this year

Secondly well done on winning at Barrow Raiders which must of took a hell of alot of hard work.

Thirdly predictions for sunday... Heart says Donny 22-27 Town but head says you will have a home win because you are a tough team to crack down. We will be bringing 2 buses (52 seaters) along with travelling fans in car. Hope to have a good day out and a great atmosphere

How are we all thinking this game will go? I'm not too certain myself tbh. Worky have had some good results in the last couple of weeks

Workington are a good side, and potentially very dangerous. Last year I felt they under performed so I suppose it depends if they have sorted that out among themselves and how the motivate themselves to come to a ground they only managed to score 1 try at in 160 minutes.

dons win 28-18 come on u dons !!!

That wouldn't be bad, i'd settle for that all day long!!

In todays Yorkshire Post states Kyle Trout from Wakey has signed on Dual Reg .

Probably replacing Walshaw.

Are you sure that this is true as it sounds a bit fishy to me?

I've been impressed with Kyle Trout when I've seen him play on Sky for Wakefield.

He'll certainly add something to our pack.

Good signing!

Match Preview

Doncaster Rugby League Club is back in action at the Keepmoat Stadium this weekend and will entertain Workington Town in round 3 of the Kingstone Press Championship (3pm kick-off).

Both teams enjoyed promotion from Championship One last season and sit on four points after two rounds. Workington have played Swinton away and Halifax at home thus far and enjoyed an opening day win against the Lions (14-10) before losing to Halifax (8-20).

The Dons registered a superb 14-4 victory away at Barrow Raiders last weekend with tries from James Clare, Bobbie Goulding and Lee Waterman. 19 year-old Goulding kicked the only goal of the afternoon in a game that was played in very tricky conditions up in the North West.

Dons' head coach Tony Miller is still without Liam Cunningham who continues to overcome a shoulder problem. Cunningham fell awkwardly during the Dons' opening Championship fixture against Dewsbury and it's unclear how long the centre will be out for.

Kyle Trout of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats is another dual registration addition to the Dons squad and joins Goulding, Danny Cowling and Liam Kay. 21 year-old Trout plays in the back row, has good Super League experience with the Wildcats and scored his first top flight try against champions Leeds last June.

Castleford's loan signing James Clare, who scored from a charge down on his debut last week, is also included in Miller's squad whilst the club's medical team will check on the fitness of prop Mark Castle after picking up a knock against Barrow.

Miller said: "I was thrilled with the way we played at Barrow and it was the response I was looking for after our disappointing defeat to Dewsbury.

"Victories are hard to come by up in Cumbria so it was very pleasing to bring the three points home in those difficult conditions.

"We're back on home soil this Sunday and we'll be looking to utilise the wide pitch at the Keepmoat Stadium just like we did last season so well.

"We've got plenty of pace in our back line so it's important they get involved and they'll hopefully be given plenty of try-scoring opportunities from our half-backs.

"Workington are a strong side and already have an impressive away win under their belt this season so we'll need another solid performance to get the points."

Workington's head coach Gary Charlton is boosted by the return of Jamie Acton following a four-match ban, while Jason Mossop and Kris Coward could also feature for Town.

However, Elliott Miller and Graeme Mattinson are still side-lined for Town, who are aiming to bounce back from a 20-8 defeat against Halifax last weekend at Derwent Park.

Charlton is targeting an improved offensive display and said: "We had a few sets on their line and we have to be more clinical.

"We should have asked a few more questions. We didn't find the final pass when we needed it."

It promises to be a cracking afternoon of top quality rugby league at the Keepmoat - make sure you don't miss out! #COYD

Im sure this is a "target" game for the Dons, one we are more than capable of winning. I'll guess at 24 12. weather looks promising, good game hopefully

Bet365 have priced the match up as follows ...

Dons -8 10/11
Workington +8 10/11
Handicap Draw 16/1

I'm sure Kyle Trout will make a big splash at the dons.

Looks like Mark Castle is out tomorrow.

Let's hope ref isn't as useless as last time he was down here...

Skybet were -6 10/11 The Dons but would only let me have £27.50 on

The Dons win 26-4
Worky were shoite.

good result lads,didnt watch the game but a win is a win !

Tuffour for my motm tbh he saved at least two tries and scored one or two (can't remember how many) also helped force a couple of dropouts.

Good solid performance . Better than expected scoreline. solid start to the season, can't ask for more.
