Knights Explore Doncaster: A Day of Discovery, Dogs & Team Bonding

Today, the Doncaster Knights squad took a break from the rugby pitch to embark on a walking tour through the heart of Doncaster, aimed at building their connection with the city they proudly represent.

The team set off early, passing through the scenic village of Sprotbrough and following the route along the River Don. The first stop of the day was at The Boat Inn, where players (and a few four-legged friends) enjoyed a well-earned breakfast to refuel for the rest of the walk.

The walk concluded at the historic Conisbrough Castle, where the squad were treated to an insightful talk by local historian Penny. She shared stories about Doncaster’s rich heritage, including insights into Fort Danum, the River Don’s significance, and the city’s Roman roots.

This initiative was an opportunity for the team to better understand the community they play for, strengthen their bond as a squad, and spend time with teammates and staff. 

With dogs in tow and plenty of good humour along the way, it was a great day of team bonding and learning more about the city we’re proud to call home.
