Doncaster Phoenix R.U.F.C. stands as an independent amateur club playing out of Castle Park, Home of the Doncaster Knights. The club is very progressive with a clear vision of playing the highest standard of rugby attainable by an amateur club adopting professional standards - has successfully achieved promotion - at the first attempt! - to National Three North a medium term goal it set four years ago.

Our ambition is proven by back to back promotions in Yorkshire One and North East One - losing only three games along the way and this season breaking 1000 points

At the present time we regularly run 3 teams and have provided Vets Rugby on Friday nights

We cater for all players who for whatever reason do not wish or are not ready to pursue a full-time career in professional rugby; a case in point being any player who wishes to play rugby at a good level whilst concurrently progressing a career outside of the game. Whilst being very professional in our training, coaching and administrative methodology we retain a traditional amateur ethos by promoting a strong, sustainable social community within the club, affording players and their families the opportunity of forming lifelong friendships.

Attracting young players from the local community particularly former Doncaster colts is fundamental to our future development. Clearly we offer a distinctly different opportunity to young players to the one offered by professional clubs.

If you would like to play at Doncaster Phoenix please contact Billy Farley on 07930490303 or email at billfarley@live.co.uk. Alternatively training nights are Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm where all new players of any ability will be welcomed.
