EIGHT shining Knights did their bit for charity when they rattled tins in York city centre in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief.
Knights chairman Roger Dixon is a former chairman of the charity's York branch and he was among those collecting cash, alongside players Lee Paterson, Dan Potter, Paul Thorman, Jon Liddell, Nathan Priestley, Craig Farrell and Dave Buckley.
The collection in total raised £2,262 for the cause, 15 per cent more than last year, and Dixon said: "I'm very grateful to all members of the Knights who were willing to give up their valuable free time to assist in this worthy cause. It brings credit to themselves and to the club."
