Doncaster League Championship Bound

At London:

James Hayter's goal (48') propelled Doncaster to a 1-0 win over Leeds United in the League One promotion final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.


James Hayter's second-half header helped Doncaster win promotion and consigned Leeds to a second season of third-tier football after a tense League One play-off final at Wembley finished 1-0 to Rovers.

Hayter took advantage of dismal marking to head in a 47th-minute corner and continue Rovers' remarkable ascent of the football pyramid.



The Rovers are heading to the second level of English soccer for the first time since 1957. They will join Swansea and Nottingham Forest in the League Championship next season.
