Dons to Play Featherstone in Pre-Season Friendly : Thu Dec 27, 2012 9:46 pm  

Doncaster Rugby League Club will face Co-operative Championship league winners Featherstone Rovers on Friday 11th January in a pre-season friendly at the Bigfellas Stadium (7.45pm kick-off). The Dons will travel to Post Office Road knowing that they'll be in for a very tough test as last season's Grand Finalists have been arguably the most consistent side in the Championship in recent times. This will be the club's first run out of the New Year ahead of home friendly games against Keighley (20th January) and Wakefield (27th January). The Dons play Dewsbury Rams in their first league game of the season at the Keepmoat Stadium the following week (3rd February). For ticketing details please visit Featherstone's website here.

Should be a good test for us and an opportunity for the new lads to get a run out. Do we have any news on the progress of Cookie?

Unaware of this

As we are playing wakefield on the sunday i would expect majority to be fringe and U23's/reserve grade for this game

He has said on twitter how much he is enjoying pre season training so i assume he's coming along ok. Whether he'll be fit for fev game, your guess is as good as mine

Wouldnt rush Cookie back and personally as the ground isn't always the most welcoming I will likely not attend on a Friday night. That by the way is aimed at the few Fev fans not the majority...

Thanks for update if back in training that will do. Be nice to have him back for the Dewsbury game but no rush before that IMO.

According to TotalRL site v Fev U20 team Admission £3 / £1.

Should be a good warm up for the Dons . Fev will be strong at this level. Hope we can run an U20 team in 2014 unless the RL change the rules again
