Week 21

Blues (3 tries) 19-19 (3 tries) Chinnor

Blues have butchered several chances and should’ve just had a penalty try from a block of the ball. Chinnor have taken advantage and scored off the little ball they have had often from Blues errors.

Blues go down the slope in the 2nd half.

Scottish really have the bit between their teeth in that fiest half playing into the wind. Caldy not at the races at all

I suspect you will need to rethink your last post as it’s LS who are asleep now.

LS 26 - 13 Caldy

Watch Out - The Scottish Phoenix Club is on the Up!!

Seven down one to go

LS have woken up after the h/t break and ran in their 5th try.

Final score LS 31 - 13 Caldy

Caldy might have done better focusing on the game rather than constantly mouthing off to the referee, which led to them being marched backwards.

Ft Blues 61-26 Chinnor

Enough tries? Watched Ealing Coventry which was more like a training night kick about at the end!

An impressive game played by the knights - defensive effort was strong too. A couple of points next week locks in third - if only the first half of the season was as strong (ifs and buts and all that 😏)

Very impressed by Donny - Pirates kicked poorly too often giving the Donny backs a lot of opportunity to run into space, they were very slick and very fast.
The game was close until a few minutes before half time when Donny ran in two spectacular individual tries. Then, just as the first half started Pirates infringed and from the line out Donny scored again; and that was pretty much game over.
Fair play to Pirates, they kept going to the end and managed to work their way from near their own goal line to score at the other end with the final play.
I'd love to see Donny win this league next season. A great club, with a first class stadium and lovely, friendly locals.

A very good performance by the Knights today. We never really let Pirates get into their stride. The defensive line speed by us was excellent and it forced a lot of errors from Pirates. Some of the tries we scored were excellent but I think the best score of the day was Telusa Veaniu going on a weaving run and leaving about 4 or 5 Pirates in his wake as he went over - absolutely class finish. Hopefully we can get the job done at Ampthill next week and secure 3rd, which I think would be a deserved reward for our form in the second half of the season. It’s a bit galling looking back at some of the silly games we lost in the early months of the season and thinking about where we could have been now - however, that’s in the past now and certainly in the last 10/11 games, we’ve been excellent and produced one of the best runs of form from any Knights side that I can remember since I first started following them in 2005.

I don’t think it’s being too one-eyed to say that we have been the best team in the league in the second half of the season, if there had been play-offs this season, I honestly believe Donny or Bedford would have won them, because I think us and Blues have been head and shoulders above every other team in the last 2-3 months.

Donny Knights - best team in Yorkshire
