A Day At The Park

Doncaster Knights Under 8's Training

All ears

Hands ready

Looking for the support

With the pitches declared unplayable again this week at Castle Park, the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass-sponsored Doncaster Knights Under 8's headed to the park, determined not to let their preparations for next week's festival be affected.

The fresh morning air went to everyone's head with even the coaches joining in the warm up run around the park!! It wasn't long before everyone had got used to the 'soft' ground, and the boys were running through their passing exercises with real confidence, and even when the coaches introduced some more tricky stages, the team looked relaxed and confident in their approach.

The expanding squad worked really hard together and there was some crisp passing on display in the final practice match, where Dan Pendergast showed some strength and determination in his running and passing, and the support play from Owain Herring would have given England a boost the day before.

This is a TEAM with ability throughout, and they go into next week's festival with the aim of having some real fun, and who knows what is possible!! Good luck boys.

The enormous Towsure stand!

We've also been invited onto their enormous stand again - this time at the National Boat, Caravan & Outdoor Show at the Birmingham NEC, 17-22 February 2009. But even better! Towsure have arranged for a Smart Car to be there like this one


so we can demonstrate Miracle Drywash to the crowds.

It's going to be fun and it's a hot photo opportunity; the photos will appear here in a future post so stay tuned!

Anyone for a mudbath ??

Conor bursts through

BJ finds the gap

Sunday saw the Miracle Drywash and Autoglass®-sponsored Doncaster Knights Under 8's head to the North of the county to test themselves against a strong Harrogate outfit.

Once they had found their way across the mud planes to the slightly more solid ground of the pitch, they set about their task. Conor Gilmore picked up where he left off last week, collecting TAGS for souvenirs and scoring his first ever try for the club.

Despite the snow that was starting to fall, the Knights team pressured well and were unlucky to be edged out 7 tries to 6 in the first game.

The team huddled together and hatched a master plan for the second game, and with some great defence and pressure, causing several mistakes from Harrogate, Player of the Day, Thomas Colcombe, led the way with some determined running and great support from Aaron Donald, BJ Howe and Niall Bates - saw Doncaster take control and run out winners by 19 tries to 9. An excellent result which saw the whole squad smiling through the shivers.

Next week sees the team take on Bradford and Bingley with the chance to overturn the slip up from earlier in the season - GOOD LUCK BOYS !!

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 !!

Back to Winning Ways !

The Doncaster Knights' winning run

A lengthy lay off over the crisp mornings of the Christmas period hasn’t stopped the Doncaster Knights' winning run. Sunday 11th January saw a tough trip to Castleford, where the boys showed some of the great passing skill they had been working on in training to earn two very tough and very muddy wins. This earned them the chance to be the first official game played in front of the new stand at their home ground – Castle Park; and despite most people preferring to stay in the warm of the bar, the boys were determined to do what they do best – ENJOY THEMSELVES.

They were faced with an enthusiastic Goole team, with the very vocal support of their coaches and supporters, but even changing the entire team at half time didn’t disrupt the flow and led, as always, by captain BJ Howe with great support from the entire the team, but especially from player of the day, Aaron Donald, and the hardest worker of them all, Ben Rivers.

They fought out a tough draw and then two hard-earned victories.

The run continues for the Miracle Drywash-backed team !!

Russian Distributor Appointed

















image: http://www.richard-seaman.com


The latest international distributor to be appointed for Miracle Drywash is:


Kortina Ltd.,
Kapranova Per. 3
Building 34
Office 34
Moscow
123242
Russia

Mike Winn of Kortina Ltd:

"We face the forthcoming economic crisis with confidence and enthusiasm. In addition to its many other sterling qualities, Miracle Drywash can be marketed as a 'recession' product i.e. whereas a standard, water-based car wash here can cost around £4-6, MDW can clean a car for around £2.5-3. Every car in Russia is dirty, so that's our starting point. MDW is the best way to address that situation."
