Doncaster Knights Under 8’s Update



Together we did!!

Sunday saw the visit of Paviors to Castle Park, determined to overturn their defeat in the rain from October. But the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass®-sponsored side were determined if nothing else, and they defended solidly all day, with the TAGmaster Connor Gilmore earning Player of the Day for his efforts.

Despite the ‘physical’ nature of this non-contact encounter, the Knights stuck to their task and, following a draw in the first outing, worked hard to win by a couple of tries in their second game.

The joy on everyone’s faces was clear to see, but Paviors determination saw them ask for a third game and one more chance to take their revenge. With both teams tiring, a very scrappy game ensued with the away team edging it by one point. Now everyone could go home happy!!

It was a great day for the team, with everyone getting a chance to run with the ball in hand, and some new names appearing on the score sheet, which led to Oliver Cunnigham earning the respect of his team as the winner of the coveted Most Effort Award.

Well done everyone – Bring on Harrogate next week.

Under 8’s announce end of season tour

This weekend the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass®-sponsored Doncaster Knights under 8’s confirmed plans for their first ever tour, where they will put their skills to the test at the Scarborough International Festival in April 09.

There are 10 families heading for a weekend of holiday park fun with some rugby scattered in between, and they will be working hard over the coming weeks to raise some money for transport and on-tour refreshments !!
