Looking for any info, Doncaster Rovers went on 2 tours of Ireland in 1950 & 1952 playing the following games:

08/05/1950 Shamrock Rovers (Programme produced)
10/05/1950 Transport FC
02/05/1950 Glentoran (Programme produced)
15/05/1950 Coleraine
18/05/1950 NW Ireland XI
09/05/1952 Drumcondra (Programme produced)
11/05/1952 Waterford (Programme produced)
17/05/1952 Cork Athletic
20/05/1952 Glentoran

Does any one have any info on whether programmes were produced for the games highlighted above?

I've been under the impression for many years that there were no programmes produced for these games, and this also included the Waterford game, however the Waterford programme recently came up at auction, so my curiosity has been spiked again.

Any help would be appreciated
Gavin

There is nothing known for any of those. I think it is unlikely anything was done but wouldn't be certain.

The Waterford one has been known about here for amny many years. It is very rare.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, the Waterford one I've never seen before (from looking over the past 20 years), but fortunately won the item at the recent Sportingold auction at £190 plus fees, so, it's now in my collection.

It just made me wonder if anything is known about the other games. I'd been going on the basis that nothing had been produced, but finding the Waterford made me doubt the info I had.

Cheers
Gavin
