Delight for Doncaster

Lewis Guy's sharp finish in the 59th minute was enough to silence the majority of a 33,000 crowd as Rovers defeated a County side who were playing in the Barclays Premier League last season.
Kevin Phillips scored a 93rd-minute winner on his Birmingham debut as the Championship favourites vanquished Sheffield United 1-0 at St Andrews.
A frantic but low-quality clash of few chances had looked set to end in stalemate until Phillips - who joined Blues this summer after failing to agree a new deal with West Brom - collected the ball, turned and found the corner of the net less than half an hour after coming off the bench.
QPR's billionaire owners were grateful for the unflashy presence of Fitz Hall as his brace handed them a 2-1 victory over Barnsley at Loftus Road.
Iain Hume (five) slid the ball home for the Tykes but Hall (29) equalised from a yard out after his initial effort struck the bar and then crashed in a brilliant volley two minutes later.
The defender also missed a second-half penalty before the visitors' Marciano Van Homoet was sent off for a professional foul late on.
Much-fancied Wolves had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Plymouth.
Rory Fallon gave the Pilgrims the lead in the seventh minute after Wolves failed to deal with a long ball but Michael Kightly (19) volleyed a close-range leveller against the run of play.
Marcel Seip (55) fired home when the visitors were slow to clear from a corner before substitute Sam Vokes (78) blasted a fine equaliser on his debut.
