Promotion is O'Driscoll's cup of tea

Doncaster secured a third promotion in five years thanks to James Hayter's diving header early in the second half of their all-Yorkshire Coca-Cola League One play-off final at Wembley against Leeds.

"I've got a cup of tea waiting, but it's going cold," said O'Driscoll.

"No, I won't be having any champagne. When you've got 20-odd players with bottles of champagne I don't think they're going to give any to me.

"They've worked hard all season, so we've left them to it and we'll wait for them to calm down before having a quiet word with them, which we do after every game.

"We'll reflect on what we did well and what we can improve on because we go into a difficult division next season with a big financial gulf that we've somehow got to manage."

James Hayter flung himself full length to head home Brian Stock's 48th-minute corner and send Doncaster into the second tier of English football for the first time since 1958.

It has been a meteoric rise for the South Yorkshire club, who were playing non-league football five years ago when Leeds were in the Barclays Premier League. Doncaster made much the more incisive start to both the first and second periods in front of a crowd of 75,132 and although Leeds went on to enjoy a monopoly of possession, Gary McAllister's side fell short in the final third.

O'Driscoll added: "The hard work starts from here. You can't stand still in football.

"As soon as the game ends you're thinking 'well now I've got to try and improve the squad within the budget we've got'."
