Cheers highflyer shame Booth looks unlikely to miss out after impressing in France good luck to the kid for next season. Well done to Howlett on getting a place on the bench. Good luck to the youngster on his first game at the Keepmoat come on you Dons.

Think the kids should get a deal in my opinion both young with raw talent and would be cheap, deserve a reward for their commitment to the club for funding all their own expenses this season but who knows what will happen next year.

i hope so, have to see if any other clubs are looking at them after academy season performances. both having to travel a fair way, be nice to see a young loyal side turning out next year for the dons, don't think they'd put a dint in the finances either.

Thats the thing Highflyer, good kids soon get snapped up by other clubs. Tony will have to make his decision soon or we might lose them to another club, would be a great shame for the Dons as they need players like these to start to re build for the future

he must think something of the kids to call them up to toulouse and to keep them in the frame, howlett named as sub and booth reserve, still a big step up and i see it as a reward to both of the lads, both obviously aren't here for the "money" playing for the 21's in a bad side for nothing and travelling 30+ miles there and back. i just hope they choose to stay on with us next year if they're offered the chance.
