Despite being reduced to 11 men as Keiran Hyde and Karl Pryce were sin-binned along with Doncaster’s Cowling, the Rams extended their lead through James Craven. Dennis Tuffour hit back for the visitors 12 minutes from time, after Dale Morton tagged on a penalty goal.

But Glenn Morrison’s side held firm, denying Doncaster a bonus point, while moving themselves up into sixth spot.
