Doncaster were never able to get into the rhythm they had displayed against Olton and their sloppy passing kept them on the back foot for much of the first half.
Doncaster needed to consolidate this lead for a period of time, however, as it was they allowed their concentration to slip for a moment and Alex Danson fired home to half the deficit.
Doncaster needed to get off to a quick start in the second half but again were hit by a brace of goals from their opponents early in the half.

The presence of the Melbourne Cup, and the Adelaide and Brisbane Cups appearing around this period, probably forced the hand of the AJC to come up with their own notable handicap feature.
The Barb had won the 1866 AJC Derby and VRC Melbourne Cup and proved to be a superb carrier of weight in handicap distance races with a terrific Sydney season in 1869 culminating in the Sydney Cup.
The favourite for the 1926 Sydney Cup was the New Zealand star Pilliewinkie, but he had to carry 63kg, while next in the betting was the super chestnut Heroic (60.5kg), as yet unproven at 3200m.

His jockey in both Doncaster races was John Jackson, who had his start in Hutchinson's stable, and became one of the most prominent north country jockeys in the last decade of the 18th century.

In the stud she produced Dr. Syntax, an exceptionally sturdy runner and winner of the Richmond Cup five times, and the Gold Cup at Preston seven times, and Miss Syntax, the dam of the good runner Scipio (1825) and the good running Tramp son, Little Red Rover (1827).

 English Race Course Gazeteer: Doncaster and York
The Doncaster Gold Cup is the oldest still-recognizable race held there, first run in 1766; the St. Leger, which began as a sweepstakes on a course nearby, was moved to the site in 1778.
Doncaster is a wide, galloping track with a daunting 4 furlongs home straight, and this makes the race a real test of stamina.
Together with the Ascot Gold Cup and the Goodwood Cup, it forms the stayers' "Triple Crown" of "Cup" events, and the only horses to achieve this honour in the same season are Isonomy (1879), Alycidon (1949), Souepi (1953), Le Moss (1979 and 1980), Longboat (1986) and Double Trigger (1995).

Newmarket and Doncaster emerged yesterday as the major losers in last week's deal to guarantee continued coverage of racing on Channel 4 television next year.
Doncaster made no direct contribution to last week's deal, under which the Tote and a number of racecourses agreed to pay £4.8m to the channel to maintain its association with racing.
Ted Taylor, Doncaster's managing director said: "It's disappointing to lose coverage of the first two days but we have plenty of time to think about how we might rearrange the schedule to improve the quality of the days that are on Channel 4 at the expense of those that aren't.

Since 1766, the Doncaster Cup has been one of the most glittering prizes in the British racing calendar, and for over a hundred years the trophy awarded annually to the winning owner was a piece of fashionable plate commissioned from a leading goldsmith.
In the 1840's the vogue was for elaborate centrepieces and the silver trophy won by Mr Hill's "Sweetmeat" in 1845 depicted Alcibides driving a four horse chariot.
The theme was suggested by the Earl Spencer of the day, the trophy was modelled by the Royal Academician E H Bailey to a design by Frank Howard, was made in 'the manufactory of Messrs Storr and Mortimer' and cost 300 guineas.

Persian Punch arrived at the Doncaster Cup with an official rating of 117, 5lb lower than his highest ever rating, which is 122, a figure he boasted both as an eight- and nine-year-old.
After I rode him for the last time in the Ascot Gold Cup last year, Richard Hughes was on him in the Goodwood Cup and I was upset with the way he rode him that day - he went off far too fast and burst the horse.
