On Saturday 24th of November, before our clash with
Scunthorpe United Lee Croft and Andy Audsley (VSC Directors) presented to James
Husband (on behalf of DRFC) a big cheque of £5,000. This donation comes on the
back of the VSC's Tomorrow's Rovers fundraising campaign.
James Husband - who came up from the Doncaster Rovers Youth Team - was
given his opportunity in the first team towards the end of last season and
turned in some impressive performances, not looking out of place on a field of
players with combined career transfer fees well into the tens of millions of
pounds and he has continued his impressive display into this season. We
asked to present it to James because his story is one that we hope becomes a
common one for players of the Youth Team in the future.
This development of local young players is, in the view of
the VSC Board, vital to the future of the club - a steady stream of players
developed in the Doncaster Rovers way, who understand the way we play because
that is the way they have been taught, and are able to come into the first team
and be comfortable, prepared and excel.
We hope that this is the first of many donations from our Tomorrow's Rovers
fund, and as such we hope that you keep supporting our cause by donating to the
fund. We know times are hard, but see this as a very worthy cause with a
tangible payback. Many supporters tell us that seeing local lads come
through and pull on the iconic red and white hoops gives them an enormous sense
of pride.
Please support this cause by donating to Tomorrow's Rovers Today!:
or email nathan.batchelor@drfc-vsc.co.uk if
you would like to donate via an alternative method.
As little or as much as you can give will be gratefully received, and move us closer
to a better future of Doncaster boys playing for their local team! So lets
build a better future for Tomorrow's Rovers, today!
