The highly effective Doolan then collected a through ball to scamper away for the second Foxes' converted try. 14-0 to Swamp Foxes.
The King Country Rams scored their first try, unconverted to keep in the game 14-5.
The Taumarunui Domain hooter signalled halftime with the Swamp Foxes ahead 19-5.
The second half became a forwards battle, as King Country decided to take few risks. Two unconverted tries to King Country dragged them within reach of victory, with the score 19-15 to Thames Valley.
Near fulltime, the power King Country scrum won a penalty and put pressure on Valley's try line. From a goal line drop out, the Swamp Foxes took play downfield and eventually forced a Country error.
This Swamp Fox victory takes them into the top four of this championship with 10 points. Leading the table are Whanganui, with 16 points.
