Yes ... a nice day out in the sunshine.
As has been noted the scoreline flattered Wakefield, not that it matters in a cup game, one point ahead secures victory and there was no way we were going to beat Wakefield.
I thought all the Donny lads muscled up and tried to match Wakefield, and for 60 minutes they did great.
I thought Butterfield was great and Spaven had a good game in a team were all the lads played well.
I thought we were a bit lacking at 18-10 when we had them wondering a bit ... could Donny possibly beat us? Probably not, but we let them off the hook and we never got a sniff after that.
A lot of fans are unhappy about Kesik being treated as a rotation player. I agree, it is a big mistake not to play him for the full game. He looks fit enough to me. What is Miller playing at?
I also thought a lot of our restarts in the second half were one-dimensional ... why the fook punt it to the same bloke who never drops it??? And that kick out on the full gave Wakey the chance to post another try. I can understand kicking too long, but putting the ball over the sideline is a sin.
Back to the positives ... we gave Wakey some sort of a game for 60 minutes ... next week we take on a team two divisions below them at home.
If we don't show the same commitment as today and WIN ... we want knobbing.

PS Overheard remark from a Wakey fan after the game ... 'Why do they allow Donny to play in a stadium like this?'
Duuurrrrrr!!!!
