Boston United v Doncaster Rovers LIVE
Key Events
- Rovers opened pre-season with a 3-1 win over Rossington Main on Saturday
Another good workout for Rovers and another win thanks to Joe Ironside’s double and Tommy Rowe’s deflected strike.
Reaction to come.
Westbrooke’s free-kick saved
Decent effort from the midfielder but Lovelance punches it clear. Have to say Rovers have been a bit flat in this half, albeit with a weaker XI.
Chance for Tavonga
It was a big one and he knows it. The youngster has his head in his hands after being played through on goal but sending his strike straight at the goalkeeper. Should have done better.
Goal ruled out for Doncaster
Jack Goodman crosses for Tavonga Kuleya to convert from close range, only for the linesman to raise his flag.
Wonderful stuff from Molyneux
He puts the ball through the legs of Ryan Hand, leaving him for dust as he drives into the box, before taking a shot at goal that’s beaten away.
Another chance for Boston
The home side are much improved and Michael Gyasi fires narrowly wide after a nice run.
Off the post!
A free-kick delivery from the far side evades everyone and comes back off the post, where it is gratefully collected by Ben Bottomley. Let off for Doncaster.
Bobby goes into the book
The youngster is penalised for bringing down a Boston player on the edge of the box.
Doncaster Rovers second-half XI
Rovers: Ben Bottomley, Luke Molyneux, Adam Long, Owen Bailey, Charlie Seaman, Jack Senior, Zain Westbrooke, Bobby Faulkner, Jack Degruchy, Tavonga Kuleya, Jack Goodman
A very good first half from Doncaster, who grew increasingly dominant. Ironside (2) and Rowe with the goals to cancel out Keaton Ward’s opener. Expecting a new team for the second half.
Another chance
Tommy Rowe sends a low shot wide after Kyle Hurst laid the ball into his path. A good first 45 from both.
