Doncaster score the 1st goal, 1-0.

Carlisle United had been languishing at the foot of the league for most of the season, but under their recently appointed manager, results have picked-up. Rovers started the game as they have been this season, slowly, allowing Carlisle to play some bright football and put the Rovers goal under threat.

Carlisle 'keeper looks on as they attack, but the game is just about finished 3-0!

Carlisle United fans, approx 300.

Gradually, Doncaster took control of the game and scored after 36 minutes. Passes by both teams were wayward at times allowing the opposition to put the other side under threat. Carlisle had slightly more of the play but good moves were let down by poor final attempts on goal.

In the second-half, Doncaster took a tighter control of the game and the pressure eventually gave way to two goals in 5 minutes for Rovers to win the match 3-0. 

At one time, it looked as though Carlisle could have got something from the match but Rovers finishing was the difference between the two teams. I applaud the 300 or so Carlisle fans that made the journey south.
