Somewhere in Bonny Donny (Twinned with Krakatoa in 1883).

Useless Bradford ... Workington have done the double over them.
York have gone top ... where they belong ... and if I was John Kear I would be crapping myself!
They are in serious danger of not going up!
And it is us or Worky who will stop them.

We would gave gone 3rd with a Bradford win ... but you know what? I prefer York top.

Well done to the players and staff on the win at Haven a good result. We are fourth this evening. Workington have York at home next, then Newcastle away. Sets up a fascinating end of season.

I'll be on the case on Monday morning. :wink:

I arrived back from Whitehaven at 9pm. We conceded four penalties in the first nine minutes. We then got on a 'team warning' before Jack Sanderson got sin-binned.

Our forwards worked really hard today - all were making metres in the tackle.

Defensively we were good. Our attack didn't function at its best but we looked fitter and stronger than Whitehaven as the game progessed.

Everyone played well. Brad England deserved his try late on. He worked his socks off. Hakim Miloudi gave Whitehaven plenty to think about.

Travelling up on Saturday seems to have had a positive effect on the players.

As you can imagine, it was a 'happy bus' coming home!

I had to smile as Jessie Joe still had 'Parker' on his shirt. :lol: Jessie and Dion Aiye were up to their old tricks causing us problems but we got the upper hand today.

Well done to all the players for putting on such a gutsy performance today.

My view on the game:

Chances were view and far between for both sides, we just took ours when they came up better than they did. A length of the field interception and a try after the first half hooter showing that we had that little bit of craft they didn't. Defensively we looked very tight, Kes tackled like a machine and Litten terrorised them after a slow start (Radio Cumbria apparently commented that between Kes and Litten it's like playing two different teams). Miloudi was easily MoM for me.

Read somewhere it's our first win there since 2003!

I very much agree with Jemmo.

I know Miloudi has come in for criticism from Lee Radford and he's potentially got himself into trouble in the past but the lad's commitment to the Dons can in no way be questioned. When the kick off got delayed yesterday, he used the time to further practice his kicking. He could easily have gone and put his feet up for 15 minutes.

During the game, he played with enthusiasm and his class showed through. As the players walked off the pitch at the end, they were all battered and bruised but you could see how much winning meant to them all. Hakim was like a kid at Christmas and had a big smile on his face.
