If only we could return to 15 Jan 1995 when at Tattersfield we beat Hull FC 42-38 with "dual reg players" never been seen nor heard of.

I too was at that game ... one of only about 5 wins that season.
Exciting stuff ..

I was there to, I seem to remember Barry Eaton and Sonny being involved in the winning try after a tremendous second half comeback.

Yes one of my favourite days of Dons memories...wouldn't fancy living the aftermath around the corner again though

Barry Eaton kicking the hull full backs head off for the winning try.
Great days

What a rollercoaster ride that season was.

I know it all ended in tears but going to Knowsley Rd and
beating Saints is in the top two Dons matches I've seen.

Yes, wasn't a bad day out that I suppose

A fantastic day, as of course was Batley away

Three huge days in Dons history; the day we beat Batley, the day we won at Saints and the day we agreed a new paid for dual registration agreement with Hull

Beating Barrow at the HJ, Warrington in 2012 wasn't too shoddy either.

Dark memories of that day for me Wanderer, a great win and event tarnished by the resignation of the chairman and coach at the final hooter

.

Wasn't that 2008 v Oldham at the HJ.

Yes it was 2008

Yes you are correct...that was a dark day, my mistake

2012 was better.

See Steve your memory of watching the Dons is fading fast.
Get yourself back and get some new memories Steve.

Some of the most memorable games I have seen the Dons play

Defeating Leeds away at Headingley 26th October 1963 by 22-12 winger Brian Tasker scored four tries to equal the clubs tries scored in a match record set by Vernon Grace against Rochdale Hornets 4th October 1952

Dons beating Leeds at Tattersfield 7-6 in 1963 thanks to a long range drop goal by stand off Vince Hattee

Dons winning at Hilton Park against Leigh Alex Murphy played scrum half for Leigh, forward Steve McManus was the star of the Dons team

Dons winning at Mount Pleasant Batley to win promotion to the big league

Winning there first game in the big league away at St Helens

Does anyone remember going to the Friday night away fixture at Barrow when the team bus broke down I dont think the game kicked off until around 08-45pm
The local fish & chip shop did a roaring trade that night I seem to recall that the supporters coach also broke down on the way back home.

Does any remember the fiasco when we played a Sunday away game at Carlisle lots of supporters made the trip on arriving at the Carlisle we were told the match was off as the pitch was frost bound & unplayable.

Happy Days

Beating hull kr at tattersfield in the challenge cup. Can't remember year think 84 no doubt someone will correct me

No after that ... I started watching in 86 and I was at that game and talking to Roger Millward, their coach, in the bar under the stand after the game.
We won about 18-14.

I remember the Hull KR match & recall looking at the two sides in the programme before kick-off and thinking that at least if we were going to be beaten, it would be by some quality players.

Their side had at least 10 or 11 players with international experience and little Donny weren’t going to stand a chance.

I think this match and a John Player Trophy win over Salford(?) I think the season before was the start of one of the best periods of following the Dons in my lifetime.

These kind of matches make it all worthwhile and compensate for all the other crap we’ve had to endure over the years.

Once a Don, always a Don!!

I think the game you are referring to was the 1st round of the John Player Special Trophy played on 30th November 1986 with the Dons scoring a 18-14 victory over Hull KR,try scorers for the Dons were Gibbon,Parkhouse & Jones with David Noble adding three goals the attendance was 3,244

I still have got a DVD of this game.

Yep that's it.
I seem to remember they had a player playing in the fullback role.
A hefty bloke for a fullback.
Can't remember if he came on as a sub, but the white bits of his jersey were really white, so he may have.
Well he had a mare in the second half much to the delight of the Dons fans.

I've got a video of it. It was so dark in the second half that the TV screen just gets blacker and blacker as the game progresses. Was the commentator on the video someone called David Doyle Davidson, an ex-Hull player? I thought he did a good job. I can't remember the nickname he gave Parky? Was it Garth? I'm not sure now.

Would love a copy of that. Remember when the game finished
going on the field for same autographs and Gibbo taking me
Into the changing rooms with all the players.
