Win HappyPremiumSearch Rayohits radiosouth yorkshirenewsDoncaster Rovers win the League Two titleAuthor: Tom FeahenyPublished 4th May 2025Doncaster Rovers celebrated winning the League Two title. They knew a win against Notts County would secure them the honour and they did just that and comfortably as well. Speaking to the club's website Grant McCann said: “We just needed to manage the week with the players,” manager McCann said. “We know they had a couple of days on the booze, which they deserve. We all won promotion last weekend. “But when the boys came in on Tuesday, we got our heads straight back in the game and focused on Notts County and how we could hurt them, what we needed to do to win this game without relying on anyone else.
