All Golds v Doncaster KPL1 2017 Final

“We scored two tries and could have had a
couple more. It was disappointing to concede
that one late on but things like that can happen.
“We’re a young, inexperienced side so to come
here and face players who have played at the
very highest level will be a big learning curve for
our players. We had some really good spells in
the game and played right to the full time hooter
so as a coach you can’t ask for more.
“The players have embraced Canada and had a
great time. We had a trip to Niagara Falls and
saw a Blue Jays game. To play in front of such a
big crowd is great. Toronto are a very good side
and you’d expect them to be up at the top end
of the Championship next season.
“We suffered plenty of injuries during the game
which wasn’t great. We’ll be hoping some of
the players who came off might be available for
Doncaster but we’ll have to wait and see.”
The All Golds have yet to lose three consecutive
matches this season and Lee Greenwood has
plenty of selection options before he names his
19-man squad for the game.
Harry Kidd, Brad Kislingbury and Ben Stead are
still unavailable despite finishing their World Cup
duties with England Students on Friday. There’s
still no long term certainty surrounding Alex
Gaskell’s ankle injury sustained against Toronto,
however he will be ruled out of this game along
with Courtney Davies. Chris Barlow could be
back in contention after missing out last week
due to Hamstring injury. Brad Hargreaves and
Kadeem Williams could also feature after missing
the trip to Canada due to work commitments.
The Dons come into the game on the back of
convincing wins over South Wales and Oxford in
the past two weeks, with their 70-12 thrashing of
the Ironmen being their second biggest
win of the season. There’s no place in Richard
Horne’s squad for former All Gold Jason
Muranka, while they are also without Tom Carr,
Jason Tali, Jordan Howden, Russ Spiers and Zac
Braham.
Doncaster squad: Aaron Jones-Bishop, Liam
Welham, Sam Doherty, Jordie Hedges, Mark
Castle, Kyle Kesik, Iafeta Palea’aesina, Peter
Green, Charlie Martin, Connor Scott, Jack Miller,
Ryan Wright, Mike Kelly, Kieran Cross, Louis
Sheriff, Jamie Thackray, Reece Dean, Makali Aizue,
Brad England
