A flying start by Dees saw them move 7-0 ahead after just four minutes when Will Philpot went over and Matt Swords added the extras.

St Neots reacted immediately with a well worked try, as they continued to pressurise the Dees defence, but this resulted in poor discipline as the visitors were awarded a penalty. In true style, Dees pushed forward resulting in a well-deserved try for Tommy Elston.

Back came St Neots once again though as a converted score left the game tied at 12-12 at the interval.

Dees were on a mission at the start of the second half and they scored two further tries from Tristan Randolph and Swords, with Swords also kicking a conversion as Dees led 24-12.

Saints rallied late on as they went over twice, but failed with the boot as Dunstablians clung on to win 24-22.
