All Smiles

the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s supplied mascots for the first team game against Plymouth on Saturday. Pictured are Jo and James enjoying their day - the first team went on to win and inspire the boys to success the following day

I told you so !!

Sunday saw the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s take on more local rivals in the shape of Dinnington and Scunthorpe - and what a day !!

The team performed together and for each other, there was passion from every player and tries were free flowing. Only a last minute refereeing decision gave Dinnington a draw in the first game, but the team regrouped and went on to beat Scunthorpe.

This was an outstanding effort from every player, and the parents who never stopped shouting. Well Done to BJ and Corey on winning the coaches awards, but a big well done to everyone.

More of the same please boys !!

Onedrywash Expands Production

2010 was a challenging year for most small businesses, but against that back drop SJK products has continued to develop in all markets. So much so that over Christmas, the factory staff have worked hard to upgrade the facilities in preparation for the anticipated production increase for 2011.

Commenting on the expansion, CEO of SJK product SJ Khebbal said " since the addition of Mark Howe as the UK Sales Manager to our team, we have continued to grow sales in all areas. The Leisure industry continues to be a key market for us, in addition we have expanded into several new markets, developed our Pro - Valeting range, linked up with HSS hire stores and are preparing to announce a major new partner for 2011 and beyond. All this means we needed to increase our potential output capabilities to meet the demands of our customers. We are very keen to keep our routes in Crawley, so it made sense to rework our existing factory - it's amazing what you can acheive with a bit of creativity !"

SJK products has been based in Crawley from day one, and it is hoped thats the way it will stay, loyaltiy is key to our continued success.

It's coming ......

Sunday saw the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s take on local rivals Sheffield Tigers. The boys played 3 games allowing the ever growing squad of almost 30 players to all get some game time, and us as coaches to look at lots of different options.

Technically, the boys are playing some great rugby, and but for one or two missed tackles at the crucial moment, they would have recorded their first win of 2011.

As it was, they were one score away on each occasion !!

There was some great work in all 3 games, with special mentions to Thomas, James, Ryan, Corey and the Morgan - Lister coaches award winners BJ and Conor who led from the front all day.

Next week see us make the trip across to Dinnington with everyone believing the win is coming ...

Back to Business

Sunday saw the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s back in action for the first time in 2 months, and what a great job they did.

The visitors to Castle Park were Hull Ionians - who are renowned for their tough, direct playing style, and would be a great test for the team.

The boys got stuck in and stood toe to toe throughout, unfortunately coming off second best by the narrowest of margins.

We were really proud of what the boys acheived today, and if this is a sign of things to come - we cant wait !!

Well done to the first recipients of the Morgan-Lister coaches awards Owain and Jack.

Final Preparations

Sunday saw the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s back into full training in preparation for next weeks game against Hull Ionians. We started the day with our post Christmas fitness tests - which everyone managed to complete........ just !!!!

The pitch was still a bit firm, but the boys worked really hard and finished with a great game of touch and pass. well done everyone, especially player of the day Ryan. Bring on Ionians !!

Behind the scenes at Headingley

New Years day saw a chance for the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s to go behind the scenes at Headingley as Leeds Carnegie prepared to play Gloucester in the Aviva Premiership. They must have had an impact as Leeds went on to record their first win fo the season. Huge thanks to fromer British Lions favourite John Bentley for the time he gave to the boys.

The Boys are back in town !!

After an extended Christmas break due to the bad weather, the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s finally returned to training on Thursday night. It was a cold, wet foggy night under the lights, and the boys were blowing a bit form the excess of Christmas, but it wasnt long before they were back in their stride and looking like a rugby team again.

Sunday saw us head to the park for an extra session, due to the first team playing at home. It was cold but bright, and once again ghe boys were soon throwing themselves into it well done boys and special mention to player of the day - Conor !
