The final home game of the regular season provided an emphatic victory against Keighley Cougars. Three tries for the returning Tom Halliday and the best performance in a Dons shirt for former Man of Steel and the sponsors Man of the Match, Rangi Chase among a number of positives on the day.

Next up, a trip to Cumbria to face fellow play off contenders Workington Town in the final league game of the 2019 season. As Mike (Double Movement) has explained in the 'League One Play Offs' thread, the result of this fixture plus Hunslet v Oldham will dictate the Dons finishing league position and as such, their fixture in the opening round of the League One play offs.

Last Season: Workington 34 Doncaster 6 (Sunday 17 June 201icon_cool.gif.
Dons Try: Cameron Scott.
Dons Conversion: Jordie Hedges.

Matty Beharrell must be rated extremely doubtful (knee injury requiring a scan).

I don't think Batley would want to risk him ...lol

Squad for Sunday:

Matty Beharrell, Watson Boas, Connor Bower, Ryan Boyle, Rangi Chase, Matty Chrimes, Brandon Douglas, Sam Doherty, Brad Foster, Tom Halliday, Jordie Hedges, Evan Hodgson, Jordan Howden, Kyle Kesik, Frankie Mariano, Levy Nzoungou (D/R), Russ Spiers, Jason Tali, Brandan Wilkinson.

Was watching Coventry vs Haven on Ourleague ...had to turn off ... it was like gatecrashing someone else's party.
I hope the Dons win tomorrow and I can have another game at the Keepmoat.
If not, they don't really deserve anything do they?
Well done Haven ... makes us look seriously bad.
My bet is on Newcastle for the other slot.

Whitehaven win the league with a 72-0 win at Coventry

Dons +6 @ 10/11 with Bet365.

A nice day for the travelling fans ...

Skybet currently offering a couple of points more, +8 @ 10/11.

Basically, with Workington having home advantage (worth about 6 points), the bookies consider both teams to be pretty much equal.

Hunslet +8 @ 10/11 with Bet365 suggests the bookies can sense an Oldham win.

Should both results go our way today, our odds of going up would probably halve.

Should we lose today, the play-off path would be: Away to Workington, away to loser of 3 v 4, and away to either 2, 3 or 4 in the final. Any defeat in those games would mean we were eliminated.

Should we win and Hunslet win, as above but Home to Workington in the first match.

Should both results go our way: Away to Team 3, if we win we'd be away to Team 2, winning that puts us in the final. There's a second chance if losing away to Team 3.

By finishing 4th, there is a remote chance we could be at home in the final but this would only happen should Team 5 or 6 get to the final. Finishing 5th or 6th makes it impossible to be at home in the final.

Hunslet loosing also.

Dons in 4th ...

Excellent stuff... and Hunslet lost as well!



We're now away to Newcastle in the first play-off game. If we win that we're away at Oldham in the semi-final.

If we lose at Newcastle, we're then at home to the winner of Hunslet v Workington. Win that and we've got another away game to follow in the Week Three Preliminary Final, with the final in Week Four.

And not a Duel Reg player to be seen. WELL DONE.

Does Tom Halliday qualify though?
He is our ace at the moment.

Wonderful Richard. Absolutely fantastic result

Tom is our player & signed on before the deadline.

Thanks ... feeling better for knowing that.
I wondered so checked the squad and it still says on loan.

Do we play again next week end ?

He was on loan , that ran out while injured . Signed on a deal until the end of 2019.
Hope we sign him up for next season .

Absolutely. Seems to know what Rangi's doing!!
