WHAT a night for the Knights. The celebrations went on into the early hours after York City Knights were named Club of the Year in the National League Awards.

We are thrilled that this remarkable success story has now been nationally recognised. With the demise of the Wasps, it seemed as though York's proud rugby league tradition might never recover.

Then the Knights emerged as a force on the field and a vibrant community club off it. And as the awards to two of the players confirm, there is a bright Knights future ahead.
