Scarborough Rugby Festival

Doncaster Under 8’s Update

Afternoon Training for the coaches
Showing off their medals
The Grey Mist closes in
Twinkle Toes strikes again
Billy Whiz addresses the team

Last weekend, the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass® sponsored Doncaster Under 8’s headed away for their first ever tour. The destination was Scarborough; the sun was trying to break through and the team were dressed to impress in their pink tour t-shirts. Friday night saw the team strut their stuff amongst the dance troops that were in town, and the parents were even questioned whether the funky pink brigade were here for the rugby or the dancing.

Saturday Morning dawned on a tired team and, as is becoming customary in festivals, we got off to the worst start losing to Blackburn. The team rallied and under the watchful eye of coach Jo, they came back to have comprehensive wins against the host team, Scarborough, and Yorkshire rivals, Yarnbury. Although the festival was played for participation and enjoyment, everyone was pleased to be top of the table at the end of Day 1. An afternoon of fun and games followed before pizza for everyone and a night of judging Britain's Got Talent and some very in-depth conversations about celebrity status.

Sunday morning arrived and with a very quiet pitch (most teams were still in bed when we arrived), the team started to shake out the cobwebs and set about the day's task of rugby and fun. The day started with the rematch against Blackburn, and the team worked really hard to earn a draw. Then after refueling on Milky Bars, and the coaches starring on TV, the team went on to beat Scarborough and Yarnbury again, meaning that unofficially, they finished top of the league for the weekend. Only one thing left to do – collect their medals !!

Before leaving for home, Captain BJ Howe gave a post match speech over lunch, and the boys were presented with a momento of their weekend and some awards for their endeavours. Most effort went to Frazer "Grey Mist" Eland, top try scorer went to Aaron "Twinkle Toes" Donald, and player of the weekend as voted by the opposition coaches went to BJ "Billy Whiz" Howe.

Well done to everyone for their efforts, and a massive thanks to Jo for organizing the whole weekend.

Knights take on all comers!

Non-contact rugby

The Doncaster Knights under 8’s play host to teams from all around the area in their festival of rugby

Last Sunday (5th April) saw the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass®-sponsored Doncaster Knights under 8’s play host to teams from all around the area in their festival of rugby. It was a fantastic sunny day, and after a lot of work from team manager Ian, the day eventually got under way with the teams needing to get through 10 games between them.

The red team got off to a flyer and, despite having to come from behind, they got a draw with arch rivals Selby. The day continued in the same vein for the reds as they notched up successive draws and a couple of hard-fought wins. They were led by Captain BJ Howe who ran in a hat full of tries, with almost the entire team getting on the score sheet. Ben Rivers once again rose to the occasion of playing on the first team pitch and scoring a couple of great tries which showed his ability to run strongly with the ball in his hands.

The red team eventually got edged (or should we say battered?) out of a close contest with Goole, meaning they finished 3rd and just outside the final places. The Blue team was led by James Chapman, and looked to be having a great day. There was some really determined running, and despite being wrestled to the ground in this physical, non-contact support, the smile on Luis Haythorne's face at the end of the day made it all worthwhile. There was some great displays from the new faces in the team, and again finishing fourth, they were just outside the final places.

It was a great day for the kids and coaches; we got to use the first team dressing room, play on the first team pitch and climb the steps to collect a medal at the end of the day. Here's hoping we can go one step further at the Scarborough international festival in a couple of week – well done boys!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, limited scope..., 30 Mar 2009
By J. Ryan (UK)
The product does as it says,.. cleans and polishes the bodywork well and I was pleasantly suprised that it does seem to 'lift' the dirt off the paintwork,.. though I can't help feeling that it may 'grind' the dirt a tad when you wipe it off. Nevertheless it does it's job. Compared to convetional wash/polishes I don't feel that it meets the mark, I have owned two sports cars with 'superior' paintwork and on neither did it prove as good results as P21 or even Autoglym. If you are short on time or taking your car to a show and need to clean it there,.. it is the best solution you are going to get


5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, 24 Mar 2009
By Mr. R. Lim
This product is very easy to use.

1. Give a small area of the car a few squirts of the dry wash.
2. Gently spread the liquid over the small area with the 1st (provided) cloth.
3. Move onto another area and repeat from step 1, until the whole car is covered.
4. Once you have done that (probably take around 6-7 minutes) the first areas should have dried.
5. Move to each area that you did in step 1 (in sequence) and gently buff/polish it with the 2nd (provided) cloth.

Altogether, it will probably take around 15 minutes.

I did it just over the last weekend on my car that had been for a service and car wash 2 weeks before, and it managed to get a lot of dirt off - the cloths were filthy by the end.

Also, it gives the car a nice shiny water-repellent finish so if it rains you can see the rain forming beads on the car.

This kit has everything you need, which is the bottle of dry wash, a spray attachment, a pair of latex gloves, and two cloths.
