“But at the end of the day it was a win and it takes us above Bedford.”

Victory for the Knights over the relegated Devon club could see them sneak into the top eight at Jersey’s expense - but Kenworthy wouldn’t put much money on second bottom Moseley denying the Reds, espscially now the pressure is off.

“Whereas you normally only have to wait a week to try and get back to winning ways when you have lost during the season, you are talking several months after Saturday.

“If we win on Saturday that will be 16 wins in all competitions and 14 defeats.

“We’d have taken that at the start of the season.”
