Well no point in guessing ...how about another clue?

Droplets of water

Dewsbury (I don't take any pride in getting this).

Well Done it was Dewsbury

Now for part two of the question.

Why was the game being played midweek in June at Stanley Park

A 7s Competition ?

... and my heart sank

No not a 7's competition

Think of something similar to the Magic Weekend or the Summer Bash

I don't think anyone is going to come up with the correct answer so I will put you out of your misery.

In the summer of 1952 there was a Rugby League competition held at the Oval Stanley Park Blackpool it was called the Blackpool Sports Holiday Rugby League Competition.
The Dons played Dewsbury on Wednesday June 25th

Doncaster Team
Griffiths,Cooper,Price,Williams,Norbury,Clough,Heritage,Gronow,Doyle,Belshaw,Guest,Davies,Street.
Referee Mr G.S.Phillips (Widnes)

A bit easier question

When the Dons finished there tenancy at the York Rd Greyhound Stadium they relocated to the Bentley Rd ground can you name the Dons opponents at the first game played at Bentley Rd

Keighley

Correct

Can you name the Dons director who was a former Gt Britain international player & also served on the selection panel for the Gt Britain rugby league team.

Clue he as the same surname as a retired british boxing champion.

First World War British soldiers were often referred to as this persons christian name

Tommy Smales

The christian name is correct but the surname is wrong

Bishop?

Sorry not Tommy Bishop

Think of the name of a village in the Doncaster area it could assist you in finding his name

Norton?

I remember Tommy Morton but not Tommy Norton.

Sorry it's neither Tommy Norton or Tommy Morton

Tommy Finnegan?
There was a Chris Finnegan boxer and Finnegan is a bit like Finningley.

No its notTommy Finnegan

The player in question played for Gt Britain,Castleford,Featherstone & Leeds
