5 mins: Knights awarded first penalty of the afternoon, Bristol punished for going in at the side. Warnock finds touch right on halfway, the ball is won but as it comes to the right the knights are penalised. Flyhalf Jarvis finds touch just in the Knights 22. (0-0)
7 mins: After winning the line out on the Knights 22, the Bristol forwards drive on well & then 5 metres from the line their hooker Johnston breaks away from the maul and scores. Jarvis isn't able to add the conversion. (0-5)
11 mins: Adrian Jarvis adds to Bristol's lead with a penalty from the Knights 22 line. (0-8)
13 mins: Knights have chance to hit back after Bristol are penalised halfway back inside their half, Ali Warnock steps up to take the kick & puts the kick over. (3-8)
18 mins: Kick from Jarvis goes dead, play comes back for a Knights scrum just shy of halfway, but Doncaster are penalised and Bristol choose to reset the scrum. As Montagu steals away he is caught and the ball is turned over by Hudson Tonga'uiha. (3-8)
22 mins: Bristol make good ground into the Knights 22, after what looked like a potential forward pass, but the move is ended as Chris Hallam intercepts the ball and earns a penalty for Doncaster. (3-8)
24 mins: Knights penalised ten metres inside their half, a little harshly as it looked like Lawrie has got the ball and it was the Bristol man offside. Either way Bristol come away with the ball from their line out on the 22, but again as the ball makes its way inside Hallam is on hand again to steal possesion. (3-8)
28 mins: Captain Steve Lawrie breaks through the line and makes good ground into Bristol's half before offloading to Bevon Armitage who found Ali Warnock on the inside to go over and score. Warnock then adds the conversion. (10-8)
