we played sharlston earlier in the year.they took the ball up well, and when needed sprayed it out wide, left centre was pacy and fullback when he came left, all in all should be a good game ,with the dons coming out on top after a hard 30/40 MINS coyd oh and we got hammered

just need to match their enthusiasm early on, then extra quality should tell

Thats how it should be !

The handicap Draw 16/1

FT Dons 57 v Sharlston 10

Final score Dons 57 Sharlston 10



Lee Waterman equalled try scoring record of 6 trys, Hodson 2 , hyde 2 & Sanderson 1.

Game marred by a brawl at the end . Dons had Dean O'Loughlin sent off for fighting plus no 10 for Sharlston who I thought was their best player.



The referee & touch judge had previousely missed an off the ball incident when Sharlston no 9 attacked Craig Fawcett to the head. Guess what no9 tackled Grant Edwards to the head & that lead to the brawl.



A good display by the Dons , shame Dean got involved , he can expect a ban .

i know watetman got man of the match, rightly so, but would just like to say i thought kyle kesik was outstanding

Kesik did have a good game & I thought Fawcett & Hyde linked well. Robbo also played well.

I thought we played well.

Waterman is proving to be one our best players and will break the try scoring record if he stays fit.

We seemed to have a bit more zip today without Cooke.

Perhaps he needs to step up to the plate.

waterman kesik robbo and hyde stood out for me. not sure powley took the oppurtunity to prove himself and prefer emmett at hooker than him. fawcett did well for his 1st game back! well done donny. sharlston fans arent a very friendly bunch are they?

i was going to post on here how well sharlston played, but not now they let themselves and the club down after the debacle at the end edwards understandably took exception to yhe head tackle and they all dived in bruno sorry deano tried to protect his teamate from getting duffed up and laid two or three of there players out before falling backwards and i am sure i saw a boot aimed in his direction whilst on the ground we gunna miss him as i think he and castle are he best two props we have had in many a long year must give a mention to lee watermen he was really up for it today, same with butterfield who was up there with lee, i too thought there number 10 was their best player till the lsat minute

to be fair , i thought we set off like a house on fire. and overwhelmed them .shame about the messy ending, if they had put as much effort into their game as they did trying to get to deano at the end. then it may have been a bit closer. thought kes n wats went well, lets hope for a nice tasty draw . coyd
