Hudson's closest effort came after 24 minutes, when with Doncaster dallying, he chested the ball down on the edge of the penalty area and fired just over.

Well over from distance on the half hour and wide from a good position six minutes later, he brought a good 50th-minute save from Jan Budtz, who replaced the injured Alan Blayney at the break.

Other first-half Town chances fell to Michael Collins, who produced another solid performance in the centre of the park but was unable to find the net with a low 10th-minute drive, Abbott - who drove across the face of goal on 16 minutes - and Danny Schofield, who would have been delighted to score against his hometown club but had a goalbound 27th-minute strike blocked by centre-back Steve Roberts.

In the second half, Booth had two shots saved by Budtz, while Taylor-Fletcher headed over on 68 minutes before, during a late push for victory, Abbott hooked one effort just wide before firing over from wide out on the right after a neat back-heel by the busy Collins.

Both Tom and Nathan Clarke, as well as David Mirfin, made crucial penalty-box challenges to help keep Doncaster at bay.

And Glennon came out quickly to smother at the feet of Lewis Guy early on before saving shots by on-loan Preston midfielder Brian Stock on 41 minutes and James Coppinger on 51 and an 87th-minute header by Paul Green.

Meanwhile Jason Price, cautioned for elbowing Taylor-Fletcher in the first half and fortunate to escape a red card after a 61st-minute clash with Tom Clarke, was just off target with an angled header after 33 minutes.
