Milton Keynes went into this game like gladiators out to destroy the enemy, from the off Milton Keynes were straight up field and the scoring started with a try from Dan Pearson this week playing out of position on the wing, Phil Powell missed this kick, but converted the following 5 tries with some great place kicking.

Newbury Stags were a hand full to control but in no uncertain terms the home side beat them in every position on the field, Milton Keynes second try come from a break by Andy Poole, Poole managed to get the last pass onto Sam Vickers to score.

On the half hour with some clever reverse passing, Phil Powell hood winked the defence and strolled over to score. 4 minutes on and this time it was Phil Powell making the break and passing to Sam Vickers for his second try of the day. With just 2 minute to half time and Milton Keynes still had 2 more tries to add to the score sheet, the first yet another break by Andy Poole and this time went into the protection of the home pack that had their chance to get the forwards into the game Kieran McConnell bursting through to score, and finally from a great three quarter movement the ball going from side to side and the man of the match Andy Poole scored his try.

Second half was really strange Newbury Stags to their credit came out and defended well and although Milton Keynes worked at the same rate failed to add to their 40 points first half tally, in the last 15 minutes Newbury Stags camped in the Milton Keynes line and tried to batter their way through for a consolation try, but the Milton Keynes defence was rock solid and failed to yield to this attack which lasted a good 5 minutes Milton Keynes finally eased

the pressure with a penalty kicked for touch and that`s how the game finished.
