First time I've been to the your ground and what a great ground it is as well, really enjoyed my visit and a great pint of real ale in the Railway pub in town and the pub just up the road from there, cannot remember the name.

The Leopard ?

Leigh are a different class and a joy to watch. You can tell the advantages of full time training as they set up like a SL team. Pushing the boundaries of the flat pass on nearly every set, supporting each other on both sides nearly every time. Leigh almost went unbeaten last season, and this side looked a dam site better, so while we're technically in the same league it looks only a matter of time. (I'll let the glass half full/half empty people decide what I mean by that!)

Excellent effort by the Dons today. They gave 100% but were beaten by a very good side indeed.

Well done to Leigh and thanks to all their travelling fans for coming over to the match. Good luck for the rest of the season.

As for the Dons, we need to keep working hard and move onto the Hunslet game next weekend.

I was pleased to hear the attendance was announced today after being omitted at the last few games.

I thought Mike Emmett deserved the man of the match. Pas Dunn did well too but I'd have had him in second place.

I enjoyed the moment in the first half when Sean Penkywicz tried to run out from his own half and turned straight into Brett Waller, and got, shall we say. stopped in his tracks!

PS. I enjoyed Jemmo's programme article as always.

Cheers, it can be strangely cathartic

As a Leigh fan I thank you for your observation on my Team and im sure Paul Rowley would agree,I was unkind yesterday describing Donny as an average team ,they are not that ,but a decent young side who never gave in ,I was disappointed we let Donny score 3 tries but it shows Dennis commitment ,as you say as a Full Time team our skill and fitness levels showed,but to your credit Donny never gave in.

The Keepmoat is my Fave away ground no doubt I love it here I just wish we could of played on the Lincoln week end I would have stayed over,still I hope to return and wish you well for the rest of the season.Charles.
