Match Preview: Ealing Trailfinders vs Doncaster Knights

The full match preview for Ealing Trailfinders’ contest against Doncaster Knights at Trailfinders Sports Club.

About the Opposition

Doncaster Knights travel to TFSC, sitting fourth in the Championship following their 26-20 victory over Bedford Blues last weekend. They are still in the hunt for the league title, only three points off the top of the table.

The Knights have been good on their travels in the Championship, scoring the fifth most points of any side away from home. They also performed outstandingly during their trip to TFSC in the Premiership Rugby Cup.

The game was a nail-biter. Donny lost in the last kick due to a missed penalty from Billy McBryde.

What to Expect

Despite their favourable league position, Doncaster have been on the wrong end of some surprising results. They’ve already lost to Ampthill and Caldy this season, teams that were languishing towards the bottom of the table last campaign.

However, the Knights always pose a stern test to any team in the league. Coming with them to West London will be many ex-Trailfinders who now ply their trade in South Yorkshire, Jack Digby and Lewis Thiede, to name a couple.
