Final game of the season against the league leaders. A disappointing season overall for the Dons, but we were determined to finish fighting. ⚔️

With an injury-hit squad, the boys were ready to go to war from the first whistle. We started brightly and controlled the early stages, creating chances but unable to convert. Against the run of play, City Raiders took the lead after a questionable decision.

The heads didn’t drop. The Dons kept battling and got the reward after a two-handed push in the box gave us a penalty.1-1. 💥

A tight game followed, but the league leaders found themselves 2-1 up before half-time with a quality finish that left Evan with no chance.

Half-time: 2-1 City Raiders.

With 45 minutes left of the season, the Dons came out ready to leave everything on the pitch.

Chances were limited, but in the final third a clipped ball to the back post found Liam Matthews, whose header back across goal was calmly finished by Callum Meldrum.2-2. 👏

Momentum was with us, and when we earned a free-kick on the edge of the box, Paddy McGuinness stepped up and fired home to put the Dons 3-2 ahead after coming from behind twice. 🚀

And that was that. The boys dug deep and held on for a massive 3-2 win. With a depleted squad — and even the gaffer putting a shift in — it was a brilliant way to end the season.

Now all focus turns to pre-season, with the boys determined to grow, improve, and compete for titles next year. 💪

Massive thank you to all our sponsors for the support this season — we couldn’t do it without you.

Special shoutout to The Malsters Arms for everything they do for the club 💜

See you next season, Dons fans. 💜

TeamSpirit

Tuesday night under the lights as the Dons travelled to face Exeter Uni in the second-last game of the season on a massive pitch. ⚽️

The game started as a tight battle in midfield, with both sides struggling to create many clear-cut chances. Right before half-time, a corner fell kindly to Owen Cresswell, who sweetly volleyed home to give the Dons a deserved 1-0 lead at the break. 🚀

The second half opened up quickly, and Exeter Uni responded early to make it 1-1 before another fast attack saw the Dons fall 2-1 behind.

With 15 minutes to go, the skipper found himself in the sin bin after a few words with the ref, leaving the boys down to 10 men and chasing the game. But the Dons showed real character and fighting spirit, piling on the pressure and earning a late corner.

The ball was delivered into the box and Paul Barnes was brought down — penalty Dons! ⚽️
2-2.

A hard-earned point against a strong side and a performance full of determination from the lads. All focus now turns to next week’s final game of the season against league winners City Raiders. 👊

MOTM: Owen Cresswell for the goal and top-tier Alan Shearer celebration 🤣
DOTD: Jordan for somehow forgetting Marcus on the team sheet 🫣

Ex Dons 4-0 Exeter Uni ⚽🔥
Fast start from the boys with chances early on, and Paul Barnes made it 1-0 after making up for a missed sitter. Tight first half, but we stayed in control.
Second half, Joe Stevens capitalised on a GK error to make it 2-0, and from there we never looked back. Solid defending and a top performance between the sticks from Evan Clark 🧤
Ryan Wright off the bench stole the show with two quality goals — one solo run from halfway, and a ridiculous weak-foot volley from outside the box 🚀
Clean sheet. 4 goals. Top performance all round 💪

Man of the match- Evan Clarke for a solid performance between the sticks
Dick of the day- Luke bland for cutting his socks and bringing the wrong half
