Well done Harry yes Batley were the last team the Dons played at the Greyhound Stadium
Do you know who was the former Dons player who played for Batley & later served as a director for them so far the clues are a forward with the initials P.M. his first name is Peter.
The Dons did play the 1952 Australian Touring side at York Rd on Thursday October 30th with a kick off time of 3-15pm the Dons were defeated 41-13 in front of 2600 spectators Dons points came from a try by stand off Lane fullback Griffiths kicked 5 goals. Sorry this wasn't the last Dons game to be played at the Greyhound Stadium.
A Dons Past & Present 13 played a match against a Rugby League All Star 13 on Tuesday evening March 24th at Belle Vue the Dons narrowly losing 26-30.
The Dons points came from a try a piece by Williams Watson Clough Tynan Belshaw A bit of useless information, I saw the Aussie match and I think it was this game where Tommy Lane crashed into one of the posts dislodging the fancy spikes they used to have on the top, fortunately it missed Tommy who was spark out on the floor. Davies Guest kicked 4 goals
