Leeds Knights 4 (6) Swindon Wildcats 5 (8) - Autumn Cup Final agony as Knights fall just short

LEEDS KNIGHTS may have come up agonisingly short in their bid to lift the Autumn Cup, but it was still a memorable night at Elland Road.

Trailing 3-2 from the first leg, Leeds actually had one hand on the trophy after 40 minutes when two third period goals from the mercurial Kieran Brown put them 5-4 ahead on aggregate – the first time they had led in the tie.
