Knights defeated away in Bedford.

With Doncaster playing uphill in the first half, Bedford were able to start as they meant to go on with an early try. They moved the ball out wide from a well-executed lineout before sending it back inside again. Dean Adamson found the space to receive the final pass and finish the try. 5-0.

Adamson scored a second shortly after as a long pass out wide from the base of the ruck opened up the gap for him to go over. The conversion was added to make it 12-0.

The Knights weren't given any opportunity to play their game, and Bedford soon snatched another score. Louis James scooped up a loose ball and finished in the corner. 19-0.

Doncaster finally got themselves on the scoresheet and, no surprise, it was Penaia Tagutu who did it. Bedford knocked the ball on and he was quick to snatch it. The winger quickly put the burners on and took off for the line, managing to run it in from just over halfway without anyone catching him. Tom Curtis added the extras from out wide. 19-7.

The hosts continued to apply pressure, extending their lead by another three points. 22-7.

Ben Sugars got himself on the scoresheet after breaking away from the maul and fighting his way over the line. Another touchline conversion from Curtis closed the gap. 22-14.

Bedford claimed one more before the break in classic Bedford fashion, always finding another offload and keeping the ball alive until Tui Uru eventually went over.

Half-time score: 29-14.

It was a difficult start to the second half for Donny as Bedford scored two more tries early on. The first was yet another example of Bedford's offloading game, while the second was stretched out wide to the wing. 41-14.

A host of replacements then came on to ignite a bit more of a fight from Doncaster.

A supporting line from Bedford's replacement scrum-half James Lennon meant the hosts claimed another score. 48-14.

Doncaster's bench started to make an impact as replacement hooker Nathan Langdon scored two maul tries before the end of the game. A final conversion from Curtis brought the full-time score to 48-26.

Full-time score: Bedford Blues 48-26 Doncaster Knights.
