Doncaster Knights head back to Bedford in RFU Championship

Doncaster Knights again travel to Bedford as they return to league action on Friday night.

Knights enjoyed a free weekend last week after their last-gasp draw at Goldington Road secured a Championship Cup semi-final spot a fortnight ago.

Steve Boden’s side could leapfrog Bedford into fourth spot with a win and will be buoyed by their two previous wins over the Blues this term.

Knights have been drawn away to Ealing Trailfinders in the Championship Cup semi-final.

The match will take place over the weekend of May 5 to 7.

Cornish Pirates will play Jersey Reds in the other semi-final, with the final taking place the following weekend.

That game will be held at the home ground of the club with the best playing record in the semi-finals.
