Photos of the evening are in the Photo Gallery, although some had to be censored!

The Club held the first in a series of Sporting Legends nights last night, with a good crowd treated to chat , laughter and song by a star studded top table!

Guest of honours were local Sporting Legends, who all entertained the crowd with tales and stories!

First to speak was ex Town First Team Skipper Nick Cowan, who had the crowd laughing and reliving memories of the 1998 campaign which saw the Club being crowned British Club Champions!

Next was Golfing legend Ian Garbutt, who entertained the crowd with tales of Seve Ballesteros and Tiger Woods!

Next came local footballing legend Ian Snodin, who had the crowd laughing with tales of Billy Bremner, and a certain game involving Everton and Wimbledon.

The crowd were the treated to a question and answer session from Alan Worboys, who had Ian Snodin to clean his boots in the early days!

Also on the top table was local boy Michael Cusack, who plies his trade with the Doncaster Knights Rugby Union Club!

After the interval, and the Silent Auction, the crowd were entertained by the simply brilliant Steve Womack, who had the crowd in stitches with his comedy, and in awe of his songs. He is one of the best in the business!

The night was run smoothly by Nick Johnson, whose organizational skills are legendary! It is hoped that the event has raised quite a bit of money for the Club.

Nick informs me that he is busy organizing the next Legends Night for February 2010, please watch this space for details!

The draw for the 2010 Knock Out Cup has been made, and sees Town with a home fixture against Cleethorpes.

The winners will earn an away tie to either Sheffield United or Scarborough.

Dates to be arranged.......
