Ampthill opened the scores first as their inside centre broke through the line to open space, before moving the ball quickly to Brandon Jackson. Jackson ran in the try under the posts meaning the conversion was simple and the visitors went 0-7 up. 

The Knights answered back quickly with a well executed set piece. Prop, Conor Davidson managed to drive his way over the line off the back of a line out. 5-7. 

A bit of magic form the back line then allowed the Knights another score. Morgan Bunting placed a perfect cross field kick right into the hands of Cross, who chose the safe option of moving the ball back inside to Veainu. Veianu dived over the line and Bunting added the extra two points. 10-7.

Ampthill soon kept themselves in the game by stretching the ball out wide for Fraser Strachan to go over in the corner and level the scores, with another conversion ending them in front. 12-14. 

Morgan Bunting then showed a lovely bit of skill to slot a drop goal and put the Knights back ahead by a point. 15-14. 

The lead didn’t last for long as Ampthill managed to snatch another try by moving the ball out wide again. The added conversion meant the half time score was 15-21. 

Doncaster came out in the second half with some brilliant momentum, and after defending the line to hold Ampthill out, they then worked up to the other end of the pitch brilliantly. The forwards won a scrum penalty which allowed us the chance to kick to touch. 

Doncaster threw a long line out ball to Zach Kerr in the centre which sparked a brilliant move from the backline, weaving the ball out to Veainu. Veainu then kicked a perfect 50:22, gifting the Knights a line out on 5m line. A few phases later and Bunting threw a long ball out to Kerr who finished in the corner for a birthday try. 20-21. 

Ampthill fought back as Jackson snatched himself a second try with an impressive dive in the corner, and a tricky conversion from out wide but then 20-28 up.

East Timor Viliamu got his first try for the Knights. But it was Veainu who ignited the play with some fancy footwork into space. The full back then shipped it to McNab who ate up meters on the wing, before popping it back to Veainu. One final tip to Viliamu meant he could finish the job. Bunting added the extras. 27-28.

Ampthill caught the Knights in the wide channel yet again as they shipped the ball out for another try on the wing. 

Morgan Bunting added three points to keep it a one score game, but the visitors managed to come out on top by watching a penalty back. Leaving the full time score 30-38.
