As the 2024/2025 rugby union season approaches, the local community are turning their eyes to our Doncaster Knights as they enter their 150th year. Founded in 1875, Doncaster Knights are one of Doncaster's proudest symbols of resilience, team spirit, and sporting prowess. At TwentyFour, we are proud to continue our long term partnership and sponsorship of Doncaster Knights, this season being lead sponsor of the teams training & leisurewear, continuing our pitch side sponsorship, our continued hospitality box where we host members of the local business community, and much more.
At TwentyFour IT Services, we are no strangers to community engagement, being Gold Members of Doncaster Chamber and having served more than 100 local businesses in the local region with best-in-class IT Support, Solutions and Cyber Security Services for over 20 years. But this sponsorship and partnership, now entering it's 12th year, represents something much more – a true partnership of two pillars of the Doncaster community, and a testament to our company’s continued commitment to our city’s sporting heritage.
"Rugby is not just a sport. It's a community, a way of life, and a symbol of what we stand for – resilience, teamwork, family and dedication," said Tony Houlihan, Chief Technical Officer of TwentyFour IT Services. "These values mirror what we strive for in our business every day. Sponsoring the Knights is just one of the ways we are giving back to the community that has supported us for so long."
The Doncaster Knights have a long history of rugby in the community and are looking to build upon past successes. With fresh talent joining the seasoned professionals this year, the team, the sponsors and the fans are filled with optimism for upcoming season as the team chase Premiership Rugby promotion, and the entire Team at TwentyFour will be proud to be cheering them along the way.
"Historically, our training and leisurewear has been extremely undervalued and we are incredibly grateful that TwentyFour have seen the value of this sponsorship as part of their continued partnership with the club." commented Tom Foy, Head of Commercial. "Their support is not just financial; they embody the spirit of community and commitment that our team stands for. We hope to make them and all of Doncaster proud this season."
Throughout the 23/24 season we were lucky enough to invite people from more than 40 businesses across the local region to join us in our hospitality box for Networking, Food, Drinks, and to enjoy the atmosphere of Castle Park for Doncaster Knights home games, and we are looking forward to continuing to welcome guests to home games throughout the 24/25 season, with some dates already filled.
As we eagerly await the season opener at home on September 21st against Ampthill, we will first be heading out to Castle Park on August 23rd for the home friendly between Doncaster Knights and Bury St Edmunds, where fans from throughout the region will return to the stadium with fresh new TwentyFour IT signage and watch their cherished rugby team.
For match schedules, ticket information, and updates on the Doncaster Knights' journey, stay tuned. As the season kicks off, one thing is for sure: Doncaster Knights, TwentyFour IT Services, Local Fans and Businesses alike will be representing the #DoncasterIsGreat attitude with pride.
This season we will be inviting members of local businesses along to home games in the TwentyFour box to witness great games and network with other local businesses.
