Doncaster Rovers Legends 6 Sheffield Wednesday Legends 6 - Wednesday win 6-5 on penalties
Back underway
A raft of changes for both sides at the break and we’re underway.
Chris Brown, Sam Hird and Gary McSheffrey are on for Rovers.
Clinton Morrison, Tommy Miller and Matt Hamshaw on for Wednesday
45 GOAL Wednesday
Ross Wallace weaves his way into a shooting position and finds the far corner with a beauty of a strike
35min Should have been another for Rovers
Jason Price is sent clear from 50 yards out and tries to place the ball past Wednesday keeper Tom Crosby bit the effort is kept out with a great save
30min Great save
Rovers keeper Craig Evans produces a brilliant block at his near post from a Ross Wallace drive
28min GOAL ROVERS
Jason Price swings a ball in for Rovers. It looks like the Wednesday defence is going to deal with it but it falls to Paul Green who lashes in from close range.
25min GOAL WEDNESDAY
Marcus Tudgay drills through the legs of Rovers keeper Craig Evans. The striker was in acres of space when he was fund by Lee Pearson and smashed a low shot.

Paul Green puts Rovers ahead. He latched onto a fine through ball and beat Des Walker for pace before firing a shot which Wednesday keeper Tom Crosby could not keep out.
17min PENALTY TO ROVERS
Colin Cramb is brought down in the box in a rather clumsy clash. Not the prettiest.

Marcus Tudgay sees his route to goal blocked and plays out wide to Lee Pearson who looks to curl a first time effort into the far corner only for Rovers keeper Craig Evans to pull off an impressive save.
8min GOAL Wednesday
Marcus Tudgay strikes a bouncing ball first time and it loops up off a defender’s leg and over Rovers keeper Craig Evans to give Wednesday the lead.
