5th May 2011

Northern Rail Cup 13 February 2011

Skolars fell to a disappointing defeat on Sunday with Doncaster making the best of the rainy conditions at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Doncaster enjoyed the early stages of the game as Skolars struggled to gain possession. Chris Spurr opened the scoring for the home side finishing a quick passing move after Skolars had conceded a penalty close to their try line.

Skolars scored what was to be their only try from their first real attack of the game. Tony Williams drew the defemce in before offloading to Dylan Skee, who got the ball out for Dave Arnot to touchdown. They then worked hard in defence, but conceded two tries before half-time, Liam Crawley pushing over before Scott Spaven slipped through a gap to score.

Skolars were only 12 points down at half-time and played with more grit after the restart. However, after a strong run by Saqib Murtza, a long Dylan Skee kick was chased down by Arnot but just rolled dead. The Scottish international was then harshly deemed to have delayed the restart and was sin-binned. That gave the Dons a man advantage and they took their opportunities well with two tries in seven minutes from Jack Ely.

The final quarter of the game was a dour affair with a converted Kyle Kesik try for Doncaster being the only score.
