Doncaster Knights overcame rugby rivals Doncaster Phoenix by 20 runs in a charity game to raise money for DRI’s Neo-Natal Unit.

A crowd of more than 200 turned out at Doncaster Town’s Bennetthorpe ground to see the two sides do battle in the annual 20/20 charity fixture.

Batting first, the Knights notched up 154 for 7 in their allotted overs, with former Leeds Tykes prop Michael Cusack (37) and fly-half Cerith Rees (34) leading the way. For Phoenix, Will Hircock turned in figures of 2-15, with Bill Farley also weighing in with 2-22.

In reply, Phoenix struggled for early runs, but picked up pace in the middle of the innings, with club president Iain Lovell, fly-half Tim Elliott and flanker Joe Horrocks all scoring 25. But despite an enterprising late knock of 15 from Farley, they finished on 134-6, 20 short of the Knights total, as Cusack captured 2-16.
