Doncaster Knights appeal decision of abandoned Chinnor match

20th December 2024

Doncaster Knights can confirm that we have now submitted an appeal regarding the result of the Championship Round 7 fixture against Chinnor. 

Last week the RFU statement regarding the outcome was: “The RFU Disputes committee met, and the decision was made that the result of the Championship Round 7 fixture, Chinnor v Doncaster Knights, will stand.

The match was abandoned in the 68th minute due to floodlight failure, with Chinnor leading 18-13. The match result will be recorded as Chinnor 18-13 Doncaster Knights.”

Doncaster Knights will communicate the outcome of our appeal as soon as we can.
