Match Ten: Barnsley 4-1 Doncaster Rovers
The game started much as most had this season. Doncaster took the lead through a Brian Stock penalty. However, in the second half, despite losing Darren Moore to a red card, the Reds blitzed through Rovers by scoring four goals. Stephen Foster headed the first, before a staggering solo effort by Jamal Campbell-Ryce put the Reds 2-1 up and Jon Macken and Iain Hume put a gloss on the win.
