The Club was informally known as 'The Dons' from the very start in 1951.
Professional rugby league first began in Doncaster during the build up to the 1951/52 season. The club originally nicknamed 'The Dons' played at the Doncaster Greyhound Stadium, York Road before moving to the new Bentley Road Stadium in August 1953. Today the Club play at The Keepmoat Stadium, Stadium Way, Doncaster.
The club have seen some dramatic changes over the last few years going through names such 'Dragons' and 'Lakers' but now are on a confident road to resurrection going back to their original colours and the original name, 'The Dons'.
