Knights back to business

New season begins for the Doncaster Knights under 9’s Rugby Team

Back to business

Sunday (6th Sept) saw the first full training session of the Onedrywash and Autoglass®-sponsored Doncaster Knights Under 9’s.

The team has kept in contact over the summer with some get togethers at the local park, and last weekend saw the Knights' north sea challenge which was won by Luis Haythorne, closely followed by Joseph Tune and Conor Gilmore; they were after all the only ones daft enough to leave the relative safety of the beach at Bridlington. The team spent the afternoon at the fairground with one or two parents looking a bit more shaken than the boys !!

Pre-season dip

This week saw the team return to the real business of learning a whole new game of ‘contact’ rugby. The team paraded out in their new shoulder pads and head guards with newly fitted silencers – better know as gum shields - ensuring a peaceful day for the coaches. The squad has swelled in number over the summer and have a lot to learn over the coming weeks, but with the support of the coaches and the great effort being shown by the boys, all the signs point to another great season for the team.

One Wetwash!

They have 3 weeks left to prepare for their first outing at Headingley Carnegie during their premiership game with Gloucester. Then it's down to business with trips all over Yorkshire in the coming months.

"Thanks to Onedrywash for their continued support – we plan to represent you with pride again this season."
