Doncaster Centurions

The club will be re-launching in September 2026 with weekly social football sessions, Wednesday nights at Rossington All Saints, 7-8pm, and monthly 11 a-side fixtures (potentially increasing to 2 monthly fixtures) against local teams. Proposed costs on the flyer.

The emphasis will be social football. A welcoming environment for anyone to get involved either just in the weekly kick-abouts, or with the Sunday fixtures, or both.

We want to create a warm, welcoming environment for people to attend and create a society of like-minded players who are wanting to play the game, without a long-term commitment.

Just to confirm for the 2026/27 we will not be playing in a competitive league, for the 2027/28 season we will be looking at creating a South Yorkshire Charity League with teams that we will be playing friendly games against this season.

If you would like to get involved then please get in touch.

Our Urbanae side are looking to fill some empty weeks with friendly games, if interested please drop us a message!

Hopefully the picture below says it all.

If you have any questions or are interested in organising a friendly then please get in touch either through our page or email the club.

We are looking at making plans for next season, which is still several months away, but it will be here before we know it.

As always thanks to our club sponsors, without you, none of this would be possible and if any of you would like to make a donation to the fund raising then this would be greatly appreciated. Anything we can raise would be put to great use.

Match Report
Doncaster Deaf FC 0 - 9 Praetorians

Just before the start of the game we realised that we were down to 11 players. The opposition only had 10. This meant that we had little choice to start everyone and hope they could manage the full game, unless the cavalry arrived at half time.

The pitch was terrible, very wet and sloppy in places and it was questionable as to whether the game should have actually gone ahead.

Anyone watching from the sidelines, there weren’t many, would have struggled to tell that Doncaster Deaf were the team with 10 players, especially during the first 45 mins.

We made it very hard work trying to break them down and we were limited to long range shots and, when we did get closer to the goal, we just couldn’t put it away.

It took us a very long time to get the first goal of the game which was somewhat fortuitous, a corner coming over from the right and going in off the back of Ryan as he missed it with his head.

The opposition had one significant chance during the first half where a long range effort moved in the wind, the GK leaving it thinking it was well wide, when it turned out it wasn’t that far away and it narrowly missed.

After a bit of a chat at half time the second period was a lot better. We were hoping that some players would be there at half time to swap some players but unfortunately not, so we battled on with what we had.

The ball was being passed around as best we could in the conditions, but the opposition wouldn’t lie down, despite the onslaught on their goal. It seemed that most attacks we were having was creating opportunities where we could have scored. There were some close range efforts, some long range efforts and an OG to boot, a good mixture of goals to ease us through to the semifinal.

Another long range effort from the opposition could have given them hope but it came back off the post and there only other major chance they had was a one on one with the GK who stood his ground and when necessary mad a great save down to his right to deflect the ball wide of the goal.

During the second half Lucas succumbed to his hangover and had to leave the pitch, so it was 10 v 10, but we managed to keep control of the game and we’re still scoring goals.

All in all a solid performance from the team, especially from some who would never have expected to do the full game.

Sorry can’t remember the assists.

Today’s MOTM was very difficult to select as there were several players that deserved it, but there can be only one.

Results - Match reports to follow

Sunday 25th Jan saw both teams in action. Urbanae were at home in Division 1 whilst the Praetorians were away in the quarter final of the flourish cup.

Urbanae 0 - 2 RUCST1
The difficult season continues but from the accounts we have had from the game it was a much improved performance and the lads were unlucky not to get something out of the game.

The team have 5 league fixtures left this season and a cup semi final to look forward to, so still lits to play for. After winning their league last season they stepped up to a higher level and have had some tough games.

We are sure they will keep fighting and do the club proud throughout the rest of the season.

Doncaster Deaf FC 0 - 9 Praetorians
The fist meeting of these two teams turned out to be a very one sided affair, well on the score sheet it was. On the pitch it was a different story.

With a good win the team now go through to the semi final of their cup competition, both teams have the possibility of making it to finals day.

Matchday Report
Sunday 11th January 2026
Praetorians v RUCST2

Despite the terrible weather we have been experiencing over the last several days the game went ahead, mainly due to the fact it was on a 3G pitch.

This was the reverse fixture of our first league game this season in which we came away with a 2-0 win away at Wickersley.

We knew this was going to be a tough game and the manager had lots of players to select from, and on the day ended up with one of the biggest match day squads we have ever had.

The team were desperate for a win, we were currently level on points with our opponents having played one game less, and we’re hoping we could close the gap on Sheffield FC who were in second.

The conditions weren’t great, raining pretty much through the whole game and very windy, but as always both teams had the same conditions to deal with.

Despite a good start to the game we soon found ourselves behind, our opponents making the most of an opportunity to get ahead in the game
0-1

After the initial goal the game calmed down, but both teams were having chances and the keepers were kept busy and RUCST2 should have extended their lead on a couple of occasions. We were having some good attempts from distance but they were fizzing past the posts, but at the wrong side!!

The gaffer made some changes to the team and formation and they paid dividends almost immediately.
Tyler Gaffney bringing the score level with the assist from Christopher Felters after some good build up play through the middle of the park.
1-1

At half time the scores were level but the game was there to be won. Some more changes were made to keep legs fresh but this time it took a bit longer to pay off.

On 69 minutes there was a bit of pinball in the oppositions box, the ball flying around and the ref deemed that it struck a defenders arm, penalty given.
With no designated penalty taker decided before the game, Derek Parker stepped up to take the kick and calmly slotted it home to put us ahead for the first time in the game.
2-1

The lead was short lived. A speculative effort from distance left our keeper flummoxed and somehow the ball squeezed through their hands and nestled in the back of the goal, cue huge celebration from the opposition and some harsh comments from the team and bench to Lucas Revell for the lapse in concentration. He did make up for it throughout the rest of the game with some great 1 on 1 saves though.
2-2

More changes made and again these soon paid off. A period of extended pressure led to a good attack and what ended up being a cross from Tyler, we think it was a powerful shot to be honest, but it fired across the front of the goal and Callum Jordan was there to tap it into an open net
3-2

There were still chances for both teams to grab more goals but the final whistle went and it was a hard earnd victory for the lads.

Man of the match sponsored by The Styrrup was Craig Elliot, sorry can’t tag you. A fantastic display at CB for the full 90 minutes, making some last ditch blocks and tackles keeping us in the game. Along with the rest of the back 4 who all played their part.

Amazing effort form the lads moves us on to 6 points and next up we are in cup action.

Well done gents.
