is that right, we won a game, yippee, nearly fell over then

There were about eleven of us over in Blackpool, the weather was great, there was plenty of rugby to watch =redAND WE WON A GAME YYYYYYYIIIIIIPPPPPEEEEE and i was in Blackpool to see it.

My missus and me, Karlos, Alex Palmers mum and dad, Col and Adele Holt, another guy who i dont know is name was there with his son, Scott Smith`s mum and dad and Danny Stanley`s mum and dad.
Anton Garcia was there and had a drink with Donny fans, we were stood talking and mixing with the players all afternoon, well done to the lads for not giving up.

If I've inderstood it correctly, I think we now contest 'the plate'.

Dont know Gary and no too bothered, we never finished bottom and we won a game that was worth the entrance fee.

Not sure if the list of results above are the complete list of Saturdays results. Those were the only ones I could find - nothing on the RFL site even though they've set a page up for the Nines Results.

Sounds like you enjoyed the day and as you say, we won a game - hopefully the lads can take some confidence from that.

the new hooker looks a good player

Is that Danny Stanley?

Yes mate was chatting to his parents and they were saying he needs to calm down, because he is quite short fused but he did well yesterday playing all the games, without sin bin or sending off. but it was nice to see someone with some fire in the belly

We could do with a bit of that as long as it's controlled.

Dons lost 32-0 to Gateshead in the plate comp

Oh dear.

That was Paul Maddison Baz, he takes his lad to all the Dons games home & away

I think it was the biggest cheer of the day when Donny won that game want it.. I was made up for the lads..

It was worth the wait, and am glad for the lads.

Did you behave yourselves last night and not have too much to drink?

Hope you enjoyed the night and had a good laugh.

Yes we we had a good night but I gave the dancing on the tables a miss, cos I didnt want to be too tired to get up this morning for the play-off's...



Seriously though.. I think it was a great weekend. Socalising with all the other teams supporters was great, and we saw a lot of players that used to play for Donny and it was nice to say hello to them again.. With a bit more planning (a score board would have been good.. lol) and more advanced advertisement, it could turn into an anual event with the support it deserves..

Great day and great to see the lads win as well.They played well in that last game agianst Keighley and it was nice to see a few smiles on faces (players and fans) after that.

Have to make sure more people get over for the weekend next year, really enjoyed it!

You just got home then Donny D?

Didnt think you would be far away as you lot zoomed past me on the M62!

Also dont know how the cup comp has gone but Sheffield and Fev were the pick of the sides we saw yesterday.Also Hunslet played very well too.They won all there games,nothing flashy just did the basics well.

Yes were here been back ages.. but dont know about zoomed, our car couldnt do that if it tied.. lol

We're currently deciding whether to put it on eBay

Blackpool?????
WTF?
Still it's appropriate geographically.
Fair play to them.
Can I take it then that some teams preferred to rest their best players for meaningful matches?
Or was that not the case?

Well done to Blackpool and Halifax..

Have to admit Blackpool winning the Trophy was a real surprise - well done to the Panthers.
