Final joy and sorrow for Yorkshire clubs in FL Trophy

Rotherham's Nigel Jemson celebrates with the Auto Windscreen Shield after his two goals decided the Wembley final against Shrewsbury Town.

Two Yorkshire sides in Doncaster Rovers and Rotherham United have gone all the way and won the competition in memorable fashion, with Huddersfield Town and Hull City not so fortunate, finishing as runners-up.

Here’s a quick look at the county’s Football League Trophy history:

2006-07. Glory for Doncaster at the Millennium Stadium.

A header in extra-time from Graeme Lee saw Doncaster Rovers joyously triumph 3-2 at Bristol Rovers’ expense in Cardiff.

Doncaster were afforded a dream start and went 2-0 up inside five minutes, Jonathan Forte netting after 43 seconds and Paul Heffernan - who hit nine goals to be the top-scorer in that season’s competition - quickly adding a second.

The Pirates, roared on by 40,000 fans, drew level in the second half through goals from Richard Walker (pen) and Sammy Igoe. But it was Doncaster’s day.

Rovers knocked out Huddersfield, Hartlepool, Accrington, Darlington and Crewe en route to winning the final, with Jason Price being their semi-final hero.

1995-96 - Jemson is a jewell for Millers.

A brace from predatory striker Nigel Jemson - who netted in each half - ensured Autowindscreens Shields Trophy for Rotherham, who beat Shrewsbury 2-1 in front of 20,000 Millers fans at Wembley.

Jemson put United ahead on 20 minutes following Shaun Goater’s pull-back and was the beneficiary of a ricochet just before the half mark to add a second.

Mark Taylor pulled one back for the Shrews late on, but the trophy was Rotherham’s, having hammered Carlisle in the semi-final and also disposed of the likes of York, Lincoln and Wigan.

1993-94 Penalty woe for Huddersfield.

Huddersfield Town endured a penalty disaster, scoring just once from four spot-kicks in a Wembley final loss to Frank Burrows’s Swansea City after the final ended deadlocked at 1-1.

Graham Mitchell, Phil Starbuck and Tom Cowan all missed for Town, with only Graham Mitchell scoring. John Cornforth, Kwane Ampadu and Steve Torpey netted for the Swans, who won 3-1 on penalties.

Andy McFarlane put the Swans in front on eight minutes, but Richard Logan replied.

1983-84. Inaugural final loss for Hull.

In the inaugural final of the Football League Trophy - then known as the Associated Members’ Cup - Hull went down 2-1 at home to Harry Redknapp’s Bournemouth in front of just 6,544 at Boothferry Park.

Goals from Milton Graham and Paul Morrell ensured victory for the Cherries, with Bobby McNeil replying for the Tigers.
