Stepping Up The Training

Sunday 12th September

Sunday was week 2 of training for the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10s, and with yet more new faces joining the squad, there was going to be a lot to cover. First things first, the boys were issued with their new Onedrywash sponsored training kits, and once again they turned heads as they left the dressing room. This years training kit also carries the logo of CLAPA - the cleft lip and palate association, and there will be more news on the teams links with them over the next few week.

For the first time this season, the 'donkeys' headed off for some scrummaging and line out practice, and the 'girls' went off to compare new boots and do a bit of passing practice. It is always difficult for any new player, especially coming into an established squad, but couple that with the daft rules of having to run forwards and pass backwards, and this is a difficult game for anyone to master - But by the end of the session, we had a game of semi contact rugby, that started to resemble the real thing - we are on our way !!

Well done to everyone for working so hard, and especially Owain - our player of the week.

A Run in the Sun

Ready to go!

This morning saw the Onedrywash sponsored Doncaster Knights under 10’s return to full training in the build up to their first game in October. It was like we had never been away, the boys were there bright and early and hit the field ready to train. Todays aim was to blow away the cobwebs, and we set about 90 minutes of running, more running and a bit more running, and rounded off the day with the first time trials of the season, with the boys recording times for 10m, 20m, 40m sprints and a 3 lap run.

It was a great session, enjoyed by all – and we welcomed 3 new faces to the team.

This is an important season for the boys, as we move ever closer to the ‘big pitch’ , the game moves one step closer to the one they watch their heroes play on TV.

The boys are back and raring to go – watch this space to see the new kit unveiled and news on the teams charity work for this season.

Another chapter in the Knights' tale

Thursday saw the team have one of their now famous summer get togethers, but
with only a month to go, the real work started!!

and so it begins ...

The boys were put through their paces for over an hour, and miraculously were all still standing at the end (or at least crawling!!). The key to success is team work followed closely by fitness, and these session are designed to work on both of these. With Captain BJ joining in for the first time since breaking his collar bone a month ago, he lead the team through their running drills, before bowing out as it got more 'physical'.

The boys looked in good shape and certainly good spirits, heres to another great season - good luck boys!

The continuing story of Jo's fundraising marathon

.
The proud team

Still smiling

Giving a junior rugby team a season full of exciting new experiences, kitting them out and touring all costs money! Whilst we really appreciate the support we get from Onedrywash, we never take it for granted. With that in mind Jo has set about raising as much as she can for the team with a summer full of running.

Wednesday night saw the annual Doncaster road race, and yet another challenge for Jo - and one she rose to, setting a personal best time over the testing 5k course. Thanks to everyone who has sponsored Jo so far; we are now over £200 and still got the half marathon to go - good luck Jo!!

The story doesn't end there. Loz, BJ and Joe were joined by friends, Dan and Romany, to take on the 1 mile fun run and all did really well, managing to drag the 'enthusiastic' Brian round too!

Thanks again to Ian, Ol and Harriet who yet again turned up to support!

If you want to offer your support to the team, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

World’s First Natural Non-Toxic Water Steriliser Now Available

Onepure Water Steriliser

Up to now, all water sterilisers on the market have been toxic. Onepure Water Steriliser by SJK Products is totally natural and non-toxic and carries NO health warnings.

Crawley, West Sussex – SJK Products Ltd today launched the latest in their range of environmentally-friendly and health-focused products; the totally natural and non-toxic water steriliser: Onepure Water Steriliser.

Water sterilising products on the market, up to now, such as sterilising tablets or sterilising fluids - used by mothers to sterilise baby’s bottle and on boats and caravans to make drinking water ‘safe’ - are made from household bleach which is held together as crystals by salt.

Yet bleach - sodium hypochlorite – is a known carcinogen (cancer inducing substance) and existing water sterilising tablets and fluids carry health warnings accordingly, as follows: ‘Corrosive’, ‘Irritant’, ‘Oxidising’, ‘Harmful’, and they are also dangerous for the environment. There is a chemical alternative to chlorine - Hydrogen peroxide - which is where the term ‘peroxide blondes’ comes from. It is also used as rocket fuel. Yet here in Europe, people add it to their drinking water; it is deemed “not fit for human consumption” in the USA.

Onepure Water Steriliser is a new, inexpensive and natural alternative, made from Seville orange pith, olives and tree bark. It is both tasteless and non toxic and delivers purified drinking water for less than 1p per litre, which compares very well with bottled water. Onepure has been tested and proven as stable i.e. contaminated water remains in perfect drinking condition for not less than 28 days. With chlorine-based products, the water remains stable for only 4-6 hours.

The fact that Onepure Water Steriliser is not chemical based (unlike existing products) is very good news for asthma sufferers because the link between exposure to chlorine and asthma, especially among young children, is now well established. Chlorine-based chemicals also damage on-board water pumps by corroding their seals. Onepure Water Steriliser not only purifies, but it is also softens the water, preventing the build up of scale in water heater systems. So an added benefit of using Onepure Water Steriliser on boats, trains, caravans, motorhomes and aeroplanes etc is a significant reduction in maintenance costs.

Tim Jones, SJK Products’ chairman, summarises Onepure Water Steriliser’s benefits:

“Onepure’s water purifier is unique because it:

• Is only made from natural ingredients.
• Keeps water systems sterilised and the water purified for up to 28 days, continuously, once treated.
• Kills 99.98% of known germs and viruses.
• Can be safely used in water tanks in caravans and boats etc, for purifying hikers' water bottles and for sterilising babies’ bottles, dummies and plastic toys.
• Breaks down and prevents future growth of harmful biofilm and germs in the tank, pipes, pumps and filters of water systems - thereby extending their life and reducing maintenance costs.

Existing water sterilising products may contain:

• Chlorine - a known carcinogen which takes 4-6 hours to break down.
• Hydrogen Peroxide – used to bleach the hair of ‘peroxide blondes; as rocket fuel, and deemed “Not fit for human consumption” in the USA.
• Other chemicals (such as iodine), some of which leave a nasty aftertaste or have to be neutralised with yet more chemicals.”

Congratulations from the Knights

.
Newlyweds, Sarah and Andy

Saturday 10th July saw some of the team and coaches head off to celebrate the wedding of Sarah and Andy - 2 of our band of vocal followers!

We had a great evening, and it was good to see the boys never missing a chance with a game of rugby taking place in the gardens using a teddy bear!!

Thomas looked very smart for the occasion despite tearing his trousers, and he managed to keep his audience amused for the entire day!!

Congratulations to Sarah and Andy from everyone at the Knights and best wishes for the future.

Girls do their bit for the team

Sunday 4th July saw the annual Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k road race, drawing competitors from all over the country including a heavily pregnant Paula Radcliffe, Joe Swash, Gemma Atkinson and Emmerdale's very own ‘Eric Pollard’!

In it together

Jo and Sharon headed to Leeds to compete and raise money for their chosen beneficiaries – Jo has been running a series of races this summer to raise money for the rugby team, and having already completed her first off road race with the Sandall Beat 10k in Doncaster, it was time for race 2.

The girls met eagerly at 7:45am in the hotel, with their personal bag men (Mick and Mark) and headed for the start. Once the girls were safely delivered, the boys headed to McDonald's for a well deserved breakfast before beginning their zig-zag across the city to support the girls along the route.

Joined by Ian and his family, we all took up position by the finishing straight and waited for the girls – first we saw a heavily pregnant Paula Radcliffe, then a couple of smurfs, a clown, a couple of other celebrities, then through the crowd we saw Jo, she managed to give the cheering kids a wave as she passed us by. Then we saw a shark, big bird, a limping ‘Eric Pollard’ and over the hill came a ‘smiling’ Sharon – great news we were all in time for lunch !!

Thanks to the girls for their efforts – and don’t forget Jo is planning to do the Doncaster town centre 5k and a half marathon later in the year to continue raising money so its not too late to sponsor her.
