Newcastle Thunder (Home) - Saturday 22 June 2019 12:30 : Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:19 am
With one of the rearranged games having been rearranged again, the Dons find themselves with a fixture next weekend after all. The venue is the LD Nutrition Stadium, Featherstone and the opposition, the in-form Newcastle Thunder.Back-to-back victories over promotion rivals Oldham and Hunslet have reignited the Dons promotion hopes and although they are currently out of the play off positions on points difference, any one of seven teams could yet win this division, with whoever finishes seventh missing out on a play off place.
As such, Saturday's fixture against fifth place Newcastle, who beat league leaders Whitehaven yesterday, presents another significant challenge.
Richard Horne seems to be getting the nucleus of a settled side together now and the recent addition of Watson Boas along with some quality from Hull would appear to have taken the performances up a notch or two.
Last Season: Doncaster 38 Newcastle 21 (Sunday 2 September 2018).
Dons Tries: Hakim Miloudi, Matty Beharrell, Jack Sanderson, Jason Tali 2, Jordan Howden, Jack Logan.
Dons Conversions: Matty Beharrell 5.
Please Note: This is a 12:30 kick off on Saturday at Featherstone.
