Miller to Support Cooke

Dons' head coach Tony Miller and club conditioner Pete Bell will both run with Paul Cooke on day six of his marathon event on Monday.

Today (Saturday) Paul completed marathon number four in his quest to raise over £5,000 for Hull's Dove House Hospice who provided first class care for his mum during her illness last year.

Dons' star half back Cooke set out on his 180 mile journey on Wednesday morning and has been overwhelmed with the support he has so far received and the funds he has raised currently stand at around £2,000.

Miller said: "Pete and myself will join Paul on Monday and we will give him our full support on what is proving to be a very tough challenge.

"It's an amazing thing what he's doing and I know the club's staff and players are proud of his efforts.

"Paul has today passed the half way point and I hope our support will help him along the way."

Says it's a grade 1 , so hopefully with a bit of rest he'll be ok. As has been said the game against Gateshead, no disrespect to them, should be winnable whichever side we put out, south Wales,more difficult but still expect to win. Hope he's fit for the two games against the cumbrians.
