Doncaster Rovers Win League One Play Off Final

Doncaster Rovers
Doncaster Rovers have won the League One play off final at Wembley beating Yorkshire rivals Leeds United 1-0 with a goal from James Hayter.

After narrowly missing out on automatic promotion on the final day of the season the win gives Donny promotion to the Championship and a return to the 2nd tier of English football after an absence of 50 years.

Their chairman John Ryan deserves a lot of credit as the club could not have been in a worse state than it was when he took over 10 years ago and to take the club from non league to where it is now is some achievement.

Leeds United now face at least another season in League One and you get the feeling that losing manager Dennis Wise when they did was crucial and ultimately put paid to automatic promotion although new boss Gary McAllister will be aiming to win the division outright next season.
