The Knights eased into the semi-finals with this victory over an Exiles side that was never over awed in their first appearance in the play-offs and made a game of it until well into the third quarter.

The Kent side had the first possession with running back Tom Shillabeer featuring strongly. Despite his efforts however the Exiles fumbled the ball away, James Cavanagh coming up with the recovery to give the Knights good field position. The home side utilised own their ground game, Dan Appleyard being the featured back as they marched down to their opponents’ fourteen-yard line. A hand off to Daniel Conroy saw him jink and then power into the end zone for the opening score. Without regular kicker Seb Phillips they failed to convert the score, a problem Farnham were to contend with all day. The Exiles came back out strongly but the Knights defense was in a mean mood. Cavanagh, on his way to notching fifteen tackles in the game, led the way with big Dan Hatcher closing down the Exiles middle run. Dan Hatcher forced and recovered an Exile fumble bringing a promising drive to an end as the first quarter ended with the game nicely balanced at 6 – 0.

The Knights made the turnover count, behind the running of Appleyard and Gareth Bentir-Davies before rookie quarterback Nick Olive unleashed an eight-yard pass to Conroy who was open in the end zone to ease them out to 12 – 0. The Exiles were battled bravely with Shillabeer again prominent behind some good Exile blocking. However the visitors were forced to punt after narrowly failing to convert a third down.

James Cavanagh took a brief time off from his defensive duties to partner Appleyard in the backfield. Behind the effective blocking of his line Appleyard took the hand off andraced twenty-seven yards untouched into the end zone to further extend the Knights lead to 18-0. A sack by the Exiles England Youth linebacker Jo Alexis foiled the conversion attempt. Both sides were forced to punt on their next possession before the visitors embarked upon an impressive drive that threatened the Knights end zone. Unfortunately time expired before they could reduce the arrears, the Knights maintaining their lead 18 - 0 at the half.

Conroy continued his dazzling first half form, returning the kick off to the half way line. However a recharged Kent defense held firm, forcing the South West Conference Champions to punt. The Exiles found the going tough again but a tremendous punt saw them down the ball at the Knights’ two-yard line. With the home team seemingly in trouble the coaching staff went to the man of the moment. A misdirection play saw Conroy outpace an over pursuing defence to race fully eighty-eight yards to notch his third touch down of the day and move the Aldershot based outfit out to 24 - 0.

The visitors had to gamble and took to the air in an attempt to get back in the game. A sack by Hatcher put them in difficulty, while England Youth defensive back Stuart Olive leapt high to intercept the next attempt and stifle any resistance. Three plays into the next Stuart Olive snared his second interception racing fifty yards to add an additional six points and leave the Knights comfortably 30 – 0 ahead as the third period came to a close.

The fourth quarter started with the Exiles in possession, driving impressively on the back of Shillabeer’s running who looked to have scored as he weaved his way into the end zone from thirty-two yards away only for a personal foul away wipe off his effort. Dan Hatcher and James Thornton combined for a sack to bring the drive to a close without a score.

On their next drive the Kent side once again mounted an impressive drive with Luke Grundy finally sneaking into the end zone on a quarterback keeper from three yards out. Gary Owens, fast developing into an accurate and efficient kicker nailed the extra points to give the visitors a richly deserved eight points and conclude the days scoring at 30 – 8.

The Knights now have to wait until next week to find out their next opponents as the winners of the Aztecs and Senators game are due to play them. The Exiles can feel proud of this year's achievements and are developing nicely, looking as if they will be a handful for anyone next year.
