Doncaster Rovers v Harrogate Town
Big tackle from Jack Senior
Great defending to cut out Sam Folarin’s cross with a big sliding challenge.
Big chance for Doncaster
Twenty minutes gone and Luke Molyneux intercepts a poor headed clearance from Rod McDonald and finds himself one-on-one. He can’t get enough direction on his effort though and it drifts wide.
A little bit of a lull
Not much happening right now, hence the lack of updates. Stadium has also gone a bit quiet. Harrogate look OK and are holding their own. Rovers have yet to get going in truth.
Good clearance from Richard Wood
Corner Harrogate. Wood got on the end of a cross before one of their attackers.
Another good save from Lawlor
He beats away Dean Cornelius’ strike from inside the box after Harrogate stole the ball back following a corner which was headed clear.
Chance for Doncaster
Great run and cross from Jack Senior, who has been a great outlet on the left and linked up with Jon Taylor well. His cross into the path of Joe Ironside is just cut out, however.
Stoppage for a head injury
Dean Cornelius is the man down. Could be a fairly lengthy delay to the first half.
You might say Harrogate have shaded that. Doncaster have applied very little pressure to their goal while the visitors have twice drawn smart stops from Ian Lawlor.
Luke Molyneux went closest for the home side but couldn’t get his effort on target when one-on-one.
Still all to play for in the second half.
