Really looking forward to this following last Sunday's display against Halifax.

A big game for both Clubs ...

A win guarantees the Dons 3rd place and would even give us a chance of that coveted 2nd spot should Featherstone slip up at Keighley.

Batley too need a win to avoid dropping down a division.

Mike Kelly & Nev Morrison are closing in on availability following injuries and the Dons could have both Liam Colbon & Jacob Miller on offer from Hull FC.

Referee for Sunday is Mr Merrick.

Biggest game for us in the 2nd tier for 21 years.

Deja vous but with grass and no slope, oh and seats

Pas Dunn is likely to miss Sunday's game through injury. Mike Kelly might be back.

Liam Colbon in Hull 19 for Sunday but could play if left out !

Batley with 8 start on the handicap with Skybet. Straight bet Dons 4/11 Batley 2/1. Good bet for dons fans that for me.

We have to win tomorrow and go out with the ruthless attitude. One of our problems this year is that we don't put teams to bed but we have to do it tomorrow. You never know what could happen at Cougar Park.We have to go for the big prize but make sure that the lads' heads are right before they go out onto the pitch. Come on lads lets have a big 80mins like last week and end the league season in style.

Also lets get the singing voices on tomorrow and give the lads the support they deserve.

With the bets ive gone Dons -8 , Fev -12 , Eagles -16 and Haven -12 paying 12.28/1

I think you are dead right there Karlos.
Not enough emphasis is given to vocal support.
As an individual and a codger at that, I could put the choir to shame.
Fifty gobby gits like me are worth ten points a game.
There was some great vocal support vs Fax, but support disappears too readily and is not consistent.
It matters and does lift the lads ... we should never stop singing ... never!

Bet365 in agreement, Dons -8 10/11.

At the moment, only the two firms with prices up.

Any injury news from last week or are all clear.



COYDs

We have lost twice at home, to Dewsbury and Sheffield.
Both by a paltry 6 points or so.
Both games we could have won but for errors.
I would say that says enough about Batley's chances.
If we man up ... they are toast!
