If so, will she have the same devastating effect on Barnsley's opponents, Huddersfield side Golcar, as she had when making her surprise appearance in Golcar's tie in the previous round?

During the Golcar innings, the aforementioned young lady entered the ground and marched "with purpose" along the bottom boundary.
Not surprisingly, the attention of those present switched from the middle to the boundary edge.

According to the Golcar club website... " a small round of applause began from the vociferous contingent in front of the bar. It quickly spread to all parts of the ground faster than a Yabba Creek bushfire.

"Play stopped as the fielding side lent their support and then the umpires, Bobby and Barry, obviously aroused too, raised their hands above their heads and clapped long and hard."

The web report went on to note: "With concentration broken, Golcar lost two wickets in two balls."

So, if Barnsley are struggling for a breakthrough against Golcar, they have an idea now what might help.

Meanwhile, congratulations to Doncaster Rovers and, particularly, their chairman, John Ryan, after last Sunday's promotion to The Championship.
For me, the picture of the week was the one that captured Ryan's reaction at the very moment the final whistle went at Wembley on Sunday.

As he punched the air and let out a yell, you could just see and feel all the pent-up emotion and relief being released in that ecstatic moment.

For what he has done for that club - and the millions he has put in - he deserved that special moment.

With that marvellous optimism that seems to permeate Rovers, led by Ryan's wonderfully enthusiastic but skilful leadership and backed up by the effervescent Mickey Walker, it won't be too long before someone's talking Premiership and Europe.

Ryan's choice of Sean O'Driscoll, one of football's quiet men, has proved a master-stroke.

They might not quite sweep all before them in The Championship, but they'll look at what Bristol City did this season and what Hull City have achieved in three and believe they will make an impact one day.

Those who blasted manager and chairman earlier this season might even get the chance to eat their words

I liked Ryan's line that pie manufacturers Toppings had said they'd cook some humble pie and send it to the ground with critics invited to come and help eat it. Brilliant!
