Doncaster Rovers, Charlton Athletic is abandoned at half time

This afternoon's match between Doncaster Rovers and Charlton Athletic has been abandoned due to bad weather conditions.

The visitors had been 3-1 up at half time, after a 15-minute suspension in the first half, but the referee decided not to call the players out for the second half.

Doncaster had started well, with Paul Keegan heading in Theo Robinson's cross two minutes into the match.

Robinson escaped the offside trap 15 minutes later and pulled the ball back to Chris Brown, who made no mistake from close range. The striker got his second goal just as Charlton were coming back into it, bundling in a corner after 23 minutes.

Play was then suspended by the referee, before continuing 15 minutes later despite no obvious improvement in conditions.

Nonetheless Charlton got themselves a goal, with Simon Church tapping in from close-range despite seeming to be in an offside position.

Doncaster than had a goal ruled out for offside before being reduced to ten men on the stroke of half time, when Keegan was shown a second yellow card.

It did not matter in the end, as the referee abandoned the game during the half-time period.
