One of Sheffield’s most famous musical exports, Pulp, will be the next cultural icons to be permanently honoured in the city where their remarkable story began. The music stars will receive their own Sheffield Legends plaque this week, celebrating their outstanding contribution to music and their enduring connection to the city.

The plaque will be officially unveiled outside Sheffield Town Hall on Friday 30 October at 2pm – and fans and proud Sheffield residents are welcome to come and

pulp to be honoured with latest legends plaque celebrate with them. Formed in Sheffield in 1978, Pulp went on to become one of the defining British bands of the 1990s. Their breakthrough album His ‘n’ Hers was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, while 1995’s Different Class lived up to its name and won the same award, also reaching number one in the UK Albums Chart and producing four Top 10 singles, including Common People. The band’s Sheffield roots stretch right back to its beginnings. Jarvis Cocker and Peter Dalton starting the band while pupils at school together. After years building their reputation, Pulp emerged as one of the leading names in British music during the 1990s.

The honour comes at an exciting time for Sheffield’s cultural story, with the city having recently been shortlisted to become UK City of Culture 2029. Sheffield’s rich music heritage is an important part of the city’s cultural identity, and Pulp are among the artists whose success has helped take Sheffield’s creativity to audiences around the world.

could hardly be a better time to celebrate everything they have achieved. Sheffield has just been shortlisted for UK City of Culture 2029, and our incredible music heritage is an important part of what makes this city so special. Pulp’s story began here in Sheffield and went on to reach audiences around the world. That combination of home-grown creativity, ambition and a strong sense of place says so much about our city. This plaque is a celebration of an extraordinary Sheffield band, but it is also a reminder of the cultural talent our city has produced and continues to produce.”

o2 academy re-opening announced with local talent headlining Following the news that O2 Academy Sheffield is reopening its doors in 2027, today the venue can reveal that Sheffield favourites, Rosadocs, will be the first band to headline in its next phase at a spectacular homecoming show. Saturday 23 January 2027 will see five-piece alt-rock, indie band Rosadocs play O2 Academy Sheffield as part of a very special launch night that will celebrate Yorkshire talent. Fast becoming

one of the UK’s most exciting live acts, this summer they have bulldozed the festival scene with their heartfelt lyricism, powerful guitar-driven melodies and arenaready choruses at Y Not Festival, Truck Festival, Kendal Calling, and a main stage slot at Tramlines. The band have risen through the ranks with their debut performance at O2 Academy Sheffield a decade ago in 2017 supporting The Sherlocks. “Since we

were kids, picking up our instruments and living in the areas around Sheffield we’d always wanted to play O2 Academy Sheffield.” Said frontman Keelan Graney, Rosadocs. We have been lucky enough to support some amazing bands there and this feels like such a special full circle moment to not only be returning to headline, but to be reopening this iconic venue that means so much to us. We are certainly going to make this a night to

remember.” 2026 has been a breakthrough year for Rosadocs as they began building towards their debut album joining Tri-Tone who have worked with an impressive roster of British and international artists over the years, including The Coral, The Lathums, Jamie Webster, Red Rum Club and Badly Drawn Boy. Their upcoming autumn run sees the band take in an impressive list of venue

across the UK and play two SOLD OUT nights at Sheffield’s Crookes Social Club next month. A host of friends are joining them for this huge O2 Academy Sheffield takeover in January including Crystal Tides, The Slates, Spanish Horses, Harriet Rose and Sonni Mills. This announcement of South Yorkshire talent taking to the stage as part of the reopening programme continues O2 Academy Sheffield’s

highly anticipated return to the city’s live circuit. Since first opening in 1968 as the infamous Top Rank Suite, the venue has hosted some iconic and now legendary gigs and remained a cornerstone of Sheffield’s thriving live music scene. This new wave of talent playing as part of the launch night will help write the next chapter in the O2 Academy Sheffield story.

I was in off license the other day, when the shopkeeper asked me, “Do you need any help?” I said, “Yes, but I’ll get whiskey instead.” I said to my Dad the other day: “My LSD is missing.” “We have much bigger problems son. There are dragons in the kitchen.” He told me. I’ll never forget my dog’s last words... “You took too much acid.” My laptop was making funny noises today, it sounded like it was singing... Probably because it’s a Dell. Mum just said “You treat this place like a hotel”. Which she may regret when I give a lower score on Tripadvisor for “rude staff ”. I used to go out with a girl who was a medium, a clairvoyant and psychic. I binned her off because she was seeing other people all the time. “None of these girls have really got anything I’m looking for” “What’s that?” “Low standards” I just opened a kitchen cupboard and loads of Omega 3 capsules fell on my head. I’m alright though, just some super-fish-oil injuries. My Wife isn’t talking to me, she said I ruined her birthday. I’m not sure how... I didn’t even know it was her birthday. My Wife growled “If you buy me another rubbish gift this year then I’ll put it in the bin”. She’s going to love the extra large bin liners I got her for Christmas.

News, Information and Advice

bonfire night first aid advice from st john’s leaders back crackdown on tobacco & vapes As communities prepare to celebrate Halloween, Diwali and Bonfire Night with a bang, St John Ambulance shares some simple, but lifesaving, first aid advice for those adding a bit of sparkle to their celebrations this year. Firework filled festivities are often great fun for adults and children, but they can be prone to accidents and injuries. St John Ambulance Associate Clinical Director, Sue Hampshire, said: “St John Ambulance wants everyone to enjoy events such as Diwali, Halloween and Bonfire Night, but it’s also important to us that people know how to keep themselves, family and friends safe. St John Ambulance volunteers regularly provide support at community Diwali and Bonfire Night events across the country, but they are not able to attend private gatherings, so if you’re lighting fireworks, sparklers, candles or bonfires, please take care and follow safety guidance. If someone does get hurt, even slightly, knowing how to respond can make a real difference. And remember—if the injury is serious, always call 999 straight away.” First aid is very easy to learn, and you never know when you might need to use it. Here is some important firerelated first aid advice for those looking to stay safe while enjoying the celebrations:

while taking care not to cover the injured area.

Firework First Aid Burns and scalds If someone suffers a burn: • Move them away from the source of heat or danger, provided it is safe to do so. • Cool the burn under cool running water for at least 20 minutes as soon as possible. • Remove jewellery and clothing near the injury unless it is stuck to the skin. • After cooling, loosely cover the burn with a sterile non-fluffy dressing or clean cling film. Do not wrap it tightly around a limb. • Do not apply creams, lotions, butter or other substances to the burn. • Do not burst blisters or remove skin that has been damaged. • Keep the person warm

• Seek medical advice for significant burns, including deep or extensive burns, burns involving the face, hands, feet, genitals or major joints, and burns in young children or where you are concerned about the person’s condition. • Call 999 for severe or life-threatening burns, particularly where there is extensive or deep tissue damage, significant facial injury, difficulty breathing, or other serious injury. Something in the eye Fireworks and other celebrations can result in debris entering the eye or cause more serious eye injuries. If something gets into someone’s eye: • Tell them not to rub the eye, as this could cause further damage. • If the object is loose and can be safely flushed away, gently rinse the eye with clean water, for up to 20 minutes if a chemical is involved.

airport • Move them away from purchase the source of smoke and serious injury. If someone has inhaled smoke:

into fresh air if it is safe to do so. • Keep them calm and allow them to adopt a comfortable position, particularly if they are having difficulty breathing. • Monitor their breathing and level of responsiveness.

• Call 999 if they have difficulty breathing, become confused, drowsy or unresponsive, develop a persistent cough or other concerning symptoms, or if you suspect significant smoke inhalation. • If they become unresponsive and are not breathing normally, call 999 and start CPR, following the emergency call handler’s instructions. Keep celebrations safe A few simple precautions can help reduce the risk of injury:

• Encourage the person to blink naturally rather than attempting to remove an object themselves.

• Follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions when using fireworks, sparklers and other products.

• Do not try to remove anything that is embedded in or penetrating the eye.

• Keep children supervised around fireworks, flames and candles.

• Do not press on the injured eye or place pressure directly over it.

• Keep a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires.

• If an object is embedded, the eye has been struck by a firework or other high-velocity object, there is significant pain or loss/change of vision, seek urgent medical attention.

• Never return to a firework once it has been lit or failed to ignite.

• If the injury appears serious, call 999.

• Make sure everyone knows where to go if a fire or other emergency occurs. For more first aid advice and information about St John Ambulance training, visit www.sja. org.uk.

Smoke inhalation Smoke from bonfires, fireworks and other fires can irritate the airways and, in some circumstances, cause

• Keep suitable first aid supplies and access to clean running water available.

South Yorkshire’s Mayor and Leaders have approved plans to proceed with a landmark deal to bring Doncaster Sheffield Airport and the adjacent Innovation Quarter employment land site into public ownership, subject to the conclusion of an agreement between South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and Peel. The decision, taken at the SYMCA Board meeting on 27 October, gives the go-ahead for SYMCA to enter into an agreement with Peel Land, with work continuing between the parties to finalise the deal. This marks a major milestone in the region’s progress towards reopening Doncaster Sheffield Airport and the realisation of the wider South Yorkshire Airport City vision, set to create one of the UK’s leading hubs for sustainable aviation, advanced manufacturing and innovation. Buying the airport and Innovation Quarter employment land will provide the long-term control, certainty and flexibility needed to unlock one of the most significant economic opportunities in South Yorkshire, helping create thousands of good jobs, attract significant private investment. Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones said: “I would like to thank my fellow South Yorkshire leaders for backing our plans to not only fully reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport, but to buy the freehold and further employment land at Gateway East. From Day 1, I pledged to do everything I could to save our airport because I truly believe that is the right thing for Doncaster. Fully reopening the people’s airport is my number one priority and one that I have continued to fight for along with the steadfast support of our communities, businesses and local campaigners. The decision made today to buy the freehold of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, simply wasn’t on the table four years ago, bringing this airport back under public ownership is what I have wanted from the start. “

Sheffield City Council’s Trading Standards officers have seized over 3,000 illegal cigarettes, hundreds of vapes and cash from six retail premises across the city. The action is part of the Council’s ongoing work to protect residents, particularly children and young people, and stop dangerous and illegal products reaching Sheffield’s streets. The seizures were made during a multi-agency operation led by South Yorkshire Police. Illegal vapes can pose additional health risks compared with regulated products, including potential exposure to harmful chemicals and heavy metals such as lead and nickel. The Council’s Trading Standards Team is continuing to target illegal and dangerous products and businesses that fail to follow the law. Illegal tobacco sales can be reported anonymously through Keep It Out. Concerns about illegal vapes, including shops selling to children, can be reported to Sheffield City Council Trading Standards or Citizens Advice on 0808 223 1133. From 29 October 2026, the age of sale for all vaping and nicotine products will be 18 and over. It will also be an offence for an adult to buy, or attempt to buy, these products for someone under 18. Retailers must ensure the tobacco and vaping products they sell comply with the law. They

should: • buy stock from legitimate sources and keep purchase receipts • only sell compliant reusable vapes. Singleuse disposable vapes have been banned since 1 June 2025 • ensure products are correctly packaged and labelled, including the required health warnings • check vape tank sizes do not exceed 2ml and nicotine strength does not exceed 20mg/ml • check products have been notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Nicotine-containing refill containers for retail sale must not exceed 10ml. Councillor Mark Rusling said: “Keeping people safe is at the heart of our Trading Standards work. We will act when illegal or potentially dangerous products are being sold in Sheffield. There is no excuse for selling illegal vapes, and it is particularly unacceptable when products are designed or promoted to appeal to children and young people. Our message is clear: if you sell illegal goods and put people at risk, our officers will act. We will continue working with the police and other partners to get these products off our streets, disrupt criminal activity, and protect Sheffield’s communities.”

Households are being urged to check Halloween decorations for batteries and electrical parts before throwing them away, after a discarded rechargeable battery sparked a fire at a recycling centre. With Halloween falling on Saturday 31 October, experts are asking families to set aside broken light-up decorations, batteryoperated candles and animated props for separate recycling The advice follows a fire at Cherry Orchard household waste recycling centre in Kenilworth on Sunday 25 October. Warwickshire County Council said a rechargeable lithiumion battery had been discarded in a black bag with household waste. The site was evacuated after the fire spread to a neighbouring skip containing cardboard. The council has not linked the incident to Halloween decorations, but Radov says it is a timely reminder to check what is inside unwanted seasonal items before disposing of them. A plastic pumpkin that lights up or a skeleton that moves needs to be treated as an electrical item when it reaches the end of its life. Being small, inexpensive or used for just one evening does not make it suitable for the general waste bin. Before you start filling a rubbish bag, put electrical decorations to one side. Look for a battery compartment, charging socket, plug or cable, including on costumes and accessories. Those details can be easy to overlook when you are tidying everything away together. The National Fire Chiefs

Council warns that batteries can be crushed or damaged during waste collection and processing, causing fires. It advises households to use designated recycling points and keep batteries out of household rubbish and mixed recycling bins. They recommend keeping decorations that are safe and working for another year, or checking whether a local reuse organisation will accept them. Broken electrical items should go through a suitable electrical recycling service, even after removable batteries have been taken out. Check the instructions for your local collection or recycling centre before you put anything out. A separate battery collection is a different service from putting batteries inside your normal bin.” Batteries should only be removed where it is safe to do so. If a battery is built into a decoration and cannot be safely removed, households should leave it in place and arrange recycling of the complete electrical item. They should not force open, crush or puncture a battery. Anyone finding a swollen, leaking or damaged battery should contact their council, recycling centre or the manufacturer for disposal advice rather than placing it in household waste or an ordinary battery collection box. Households can check their council website or use the Recycle Your Electricals postcode locator to find a suitable collection point. Some councils provide separate collections for small electricals and batteries, but the arrangements vary by area.

cast celebrates double SME awards Cast is bringing Doncaster’s artists and creatives together through a growing programme of opportunities, connections and support, as its Artists Co-op develops into a community where artists can share ideas, build relationships and find practical plans to develop their work and careers. Since Sylvia Kulcewski joined Cast’s team in February 2026 to lead on artist development, the organisation has been building stronger connections with the local creative community and our established associate artists. The Artist Co-op newsletter was re-launched in May, providing a regular way for artists to discover opportunities and connect with Cast, and last month the first Artist Social of the year brought the community together in person for an evening of conversation, performances, networking and collaboration.

James Blakey, Director of Cast, said: “Artists are essential to what we do at Cast, and we’re committed to making space for them to explore ideas, meet each other, find new collaborators and develop work in their own way and on their own terms. We want to create space for artists to play and follow their instincts without always knowing what the end product will be. As artists, we get so much energy from working with other people, but the spaces between projects can be lonely. That’s why building a community of artists feels so important to us. We love the idea of a co-operative. It speaks to Doncaster’s social history, but also to what artists need right now: opportunities to share knowledge and resources, support one another and make things happen together. It’s been brilliant to see our Artists Co-op growing, with artists already

making connections, supporting each other’s work and helping to shape what Cast can offer in the future.” For artists such as Molly Eroje, who is completing her training at DARTs while taking part in regular professional opportunities through Cast’s Artist Development Programme, having somewhere to develop confidence, experience and connections can make a significant difference at the start of a creative career. “As a performer, musician and slam poet, I feel absolutely STARSTRUCK working with the Artist Development Programme at Cast”, says Molly. “They are super supportive, and crucially help with marketing and promotion. I feel Cast has helped me achieve things I could only ever have dreamed of. They have supported me in creating a designated space for the young working age population centred around music, in the Cast

18-35s Music Jams. This isn’t luck, this is actually being held and supported as a freelance creative.” The Artist Co-op is designed to complement Cast’s wider offer for artists and creatives. This includes regular artist surgeries offering a space to discuss projects and seek advice; opportunities to connect with other artists and industry professionals; Cast Music Jam; the associate artist programme; and opportunities to develop, share and test creative work. The Artist Social also gave artists the chance to perform through an open mic, meet fellow creatives and contribute to conversations about what a more co-operative creative future in Doncaster could look like. The work will continue throughout the coming months, with Cast using conversations with artists and feedback from the growing community to shape future opportunities and support. The aim is not simply to provide a place for artists to present their finished work, but to help create the conditions for ideas to develop,

relationships to grow and artists to take their next steps. Meanwhile Cast is celebrating a double win at the SME Northern Enterprise Awards 2026, recognising its work as a community-focused cultural organisation and its commitment to making theatre and creativity accessible to everyone. • Best Community-Focused Cultural Organisation 2026 - South Yorkshire • Inclusive Theatre & Cultural Engagement Excellence Award 2026 - South Yorkshire These awards recognise the Doncaster theatre’s distinctive approach to combining highquality artistic programming with meaningful community engagement. Since opening in 2013, Cast has become an important part of the city’s cultural life, welcoming more than 120,000 visitors each year and engaging almost 14,000 people through more than 700 creative participation sessions. James Blakey, Director at Cast,

said: “We’re delighted to receive these awards because they recognise so much of the work that happens beyond the performances on our stages. At Cast, we believe that when we tap into our creative impulses and make things together, we can achieve things that could never have imagined on our own. Through our extensive community programmes people of all ages, backgrounds and experiences come together to make ambitious work alongside professional artists. We are proud to provide a place where people can belong, connect with others and find new and creative ways to share something about their experience of the world. The friendship, skills and agency that people develop makes a real difference in their lives and their communities. We see examples of this every day” For artists and creatives interested in joining the Artists Co-op and finding out about upcoming opportunities, more information can be found at castindoncaster.com/ take-part/for-artists.

blades enjoy friday night outing ten man owls battle for share of points

United deservedly claimed all three points with an impressive display at Bramall Lane on Friday night. Under the S2 lights, Ben Brereton Diaz with the first goal of his third spell at the club proved to be the Blades hero, but it was an excellent display across the pitch that secured the spoils. United made three changes for the home clash against Wrexham. Recalls were handed to Peck, Ayew and Donovan, with Arblaster and Cannon dropping to the bench and Bamford missing out. McGuinness returned to the matchday 20 having passed the concussion protocols. The Blades were quickly out of the traps and the opening minutes set the tone for the first half, with Peck drawing an early save out of Patterson, before Phillips needed lengthy treatment on a foot issue, thankfully, he shook after the problem, after Tanganga had blocked a volley by O’Brien. The home side were dominant it would be fair to say and after Doyle was cautioned for tugging back Chong, United took the lead on

the half hour. Ayew did well to get a shot off on the turn and as Patterson could only partially palm the ball away from danger, BRERETON DIAZ reacted quickest to tuck the ball home on the rebound. Firmly on top until the break, the last talking point of the half should have seen the Blades award a penalty as Hyam seemingly caught Burrows as he attempted to turn in the box, television replays confirmed what the players appealed for, but referee Webb pointed for a corner as Peck saw another effort deflected wide. Looking for a way back into the game, Moore should have better having latched on to a James through ball, but his left-footed effort didn’t trouble Cooper, who had little to do, as Kitching and then Phillips were

carded for fouls on Smith and Sheaf respectively. Ayew put in an excellent shift up top prior to being replaced by Cannon and some timely substitutions ensured the Blades were never under serious danger of surrendering the first half lead, with Moore and Smith not having sights of goal until well into six minutes of added time, as the Blades comfortably made it three games unbeaten and seven points from the last nine. Chris Wilder felt United’s victory over Wrexham at Bramall Lane on Friday night was ‘deserved’. United’s positive, front foot start set the tone for the evening with Wilder demanding his players ‘got after the opposition’ and ultimately the visitors couldn’t match the Blades desire and commitment across the pitch.

non-league round-up

Danny Reet saw his free kick saved on 37 minutes and his header was also held by the keeper. Against the run of play on 43 minutes a ball into the box was tucked away by Bentley Villageand appeals for offside were turned away. The second half saw a change in goal with Danny Barnsley replacing Ethan Wilkinson due to injury. Jubilee started to control the game but went behind against the run of play on 50 minutes. A scramble in the penalty area saw the ball hit the bar and drop over the line. Despite this, Jubes still went forward

looking for a goal. With 71 minutes played a foul in the penalty area gave Danny Reet the chance to level things upand his well struck kick did just that. It could have been more but in stoppage time another effort was cleared off the line by the home side. Next week second place Hepworth United Reseves are the visitors with a 3pm kick off.

Jubilee Sports took the game to Bentley Village from the start, with Ethan Wilkinson forcing the home keeper into a save on 5 minutes. A minute later Jubes took the lead when Danny Reet chipped the ball over the keeper from the edge of the penalty area. On a really poor pitch it was hard to put two passes together at times and visiting keeper Ethan Wilkinson pulled off a good save on 14 minutes. The game was scrappy at ties due to the playing conditions but

Wednesday were forced to settle for a point after drawing 1-1 with Blackpool at Hillsborough on Sunday afternoon. Interim boss Matt Hamshaw made three changes to his starting line-up following the midweek draw with Cambridge United. With new Wednesday boss Dave Challinor watching from the stands, it was Blackpool who had the first chance of the afternoon when a corner from the right from Leighton Clarkson found Andy Lyons inside the penalty area, but his header was straight at Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Following a scrappy

start to the contest, Wednesday fashioned their first meaningful chance of the contest with 21 minutes on the clock when Max Lowe slipped in Keillor-Dunn, who saw two efforts blocked, before Callum Slattery saw an effort deflected behind. Having gone close to breaking the deadlock, Wednesday got their noses in front with 25 minutes on the clock when Keillor-Dunn accepted a loose pass from Blackpool midfielder Clarkson inside the centre circle, motored forward and drilled a pinpoint effort into the bottom corner

from outside the penalty area. With their tails up, Wednesday pushed forward in pursuit of a second goal when Palmer stung the palms of Peacock-Farrell with a fierce drive from the edge of the box. Wednesday were dealt a blow five minutes before half-time when the returning Swinkels was shown a straight red card for colliding with Tangerines attacker Tom Bloxham. With a numerical advantage, Blackpool started the second half on the front foot in pursuit of an equaliser, and they went within inches of getting one when Jordan

Williams’ low cross from the right was steered agonisingly wide by Hayden Coulson. At the other end, Wednesday, just minutes later, went close to doubling their lead when Keillor-Dunn tried his luck from distance, forcing a save out of Peacock-Farrell. Continuing to dig deep, Wednesday were defending resolutely every time Blackpool ventured forward, and it took a well-timed block from Ernie Weaver to direct Taylor’s effort away from goal. However, Wednesday’s defence was breached with nine minutes remaining when a long

ball over the top from Albie Morgan found substitute Yates, who managed to squeeze the ball beyond MaynardBrewer. Wednesday almost reclaimed the lead in spectacular fashion when Burstow attempted to lob Peacock-Farrell from inside his own half, forcing the ex-Owls loanee into a save. Blackpool almost snatched all three points in the final minute of regulation time when Olly Casey’s effort from the edge of the penalty area struck the crossbar, but Wednesday survived to ensure the points were shared.

Doncaster Rovers were beaten 6-1 on the road in Sky Bet League One at Stadium MK by MK Dons. Aaron Collins set the tone for the afternoon within two minutes, before bagging his second on 21 minutes to give his side a two goal lead at half-time. Jordan Thomas pulled Rovers a goal back on 64 minutes, but Collins scored his third and fourth of the game to put daylight between the sides. Callum Paterson and Marvin Ekpiteta put the icing on the cake for the home side, completing the scoring in the closing stages. Grant McCann made three changes to the side that lost at Luton Town four days earlier,

with George Broadbent, Alfie May and Jordan Thomas all handed their place in the starting XI. Inside two minutes, Collins opened the scoring for MK Dons. He was left in space on the edge of the penalty area and picked out the bottom left corner of the goal with a low shot. MK Dons’ strong start continued with home captain Alex Gilbey seeing a driven attempt deflected behind for a corner by Jack Senior after 11 minutes. George Broadbent found the visitor’s first chance of the afternoon on 16 minutes, firing over the crossbar from outside of the box. At the other end of the pitch, Sam Nombe flashed an effort across goal from a tight angle

on the right after taking the ball wide of Tommy Simkin. Collins scored his second on 21 minutes after the hosts regained possession in midfield and slid a pass into the striker, who made no mistake one-on-one. Jordan Thomas looked to get Rovers back into the game on 26 minutes, but his curling attempt from 20 yards cleared the woodwork. After 32 minutes MK Dons almost found a three-goal lead, with Alex Gilbey having an effort blocked by Neill Byrne before Dan Crowley saw a low shot saved well by Simkin. Collins had the last effort on goal of the first half, with Simkin catching the forward’s shot from a distance on 36 minutes. Rovers opted for two

substitutions and a change of system at half-time with the introductions of Brandon Hanlan and Robbie Gotts, and it was the Rovers number nine who found the first chance after the restart with a half-volley at MK Dons goalkeeper Will Dennis. Ekpiteta fizzed a shot narrowly wide of the Rovers corner at the other end of the pitch four minutes later. Second-half substitute Will Keane glanced a header over the crossbar from close-range on 62 minutes. Rovers got on the scoresheet on 64 minutes through Jordan Thomas. Bayley McCann’s low cross into the penalty area was diverted towards the centre by Hanlan, and Thomas was there to slide

into the net. The Dons responded seven minutes later as Collins scored at the right-hand upright to complete his hat-trick and restore the home side’s two-goal lead. Host substitute Callum Paterson saw his header cannon back off the crossbar on 72 minutes. Collins scored his, and the home side’s ,fourth goal of the afternoon on 76 minutes to put distance between the sides. Nine minutes from time, Paterson followed up a close-range effort to tap into a gapping goal after a decent initial save from Simkin. Marvin Ekpiteta added a sixth goal for the hosts in the final minute to complete the scoring.
