The Knights were looking to retain the play-off crown they won last year as well as add to the league title they won for a second successive time back in April. But they were denied in the cruelest of fashions when Luke Ferrara scored the decisive goal in the shoot-out to send the Phantoms bench delirious along with their fans behind the net where the winning strike took place. It remains another stellar campaign by the Knights, though, having already retained their regular season crown in such...
The Wiltshire team, where Aldridge worked behind the bench from 2009-2015, lost out 4-3 in overtime to Manchester Phoenix in the semi-finals. This weekend will see Aldridge return to the Skydome Arena, but it will only be a year on from the last time he was there, steering his Leeds Knights team to a nail-biting 5-4 win in the final against Raiders IHC, a triumph which sealed a memorable league and play-off double for his players. The Knights are targeting a repeat double this weekend having...
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Tomas Totland scored his first MLS goal in the second minute of stoppage time, João Klauss added a goal and two assists and St. Louis City rallied for a 3-3 tie with Sporting Kansas City. Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia played a goal kick to near midfield that was eventually won by St. Louis and, after a couple one-touch passes, Totland outraced a defender before he slipped a shot from right corner of the area inside the far post to cap the scoring in the second minute...
Throughout the regular season there had been little between these two teams but at the SkyDome Arena on Saturday afternoon in the first of the play-off semi-finals, the Knights were superior in almost every way. Forging ahead 4-0 inside 10 minutes, the Knights ensured that the Wildcats were forever playing catch-up. The Wiltshire side gave themselves hope by pulling it back to 4-2 before the end of the first period, but the Knights killed the game in the early part of the second and had a moment...

Previously a winner in Coventry play-off finals with Manchester Phoenix and Hull Pirates - neither club still with us - the veteran forward firmly believes Leeds Knights are the team who can help him achieve his career-closing ambition. Less than 12 months ago, to be in such a position did not even seem a remote possibility for the 35-year-old. No longer required at Hull Seahawks, his second permanent stint in East Yorkshire coming to an end as a result of head coach Matty Davies’s roster...
Hull City win at Coventry to keep alive their Championship play-off bid,
Leeds United moved back into the Championship's automatic promotion places with a thrilling 4-3 success at Monday night's hosts Middlesbrough in which star man Crysencio Summerville added to his brilliant tally with a double. Leeds squandered two good chances in the fourth minute as Ethan Ampadu failed to get a free header on target and Georginio Rutter then sliced a volley on the follow-up attempt. Instead, Boro went ahead just three minutes later through Isaiah Jones who tapped home into an...
Ryan Garcia knocked Devin Haney down three times and handed the WBC super lightweight champion his first loss, winning the fight by majority decision Saturday night but not the title because he was over the weight limit. Garcia's odd behavior in public and on social media throughout the buildup led to questions about how serious he was about this fight. Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) won by scores of 115-109 and 114-110 on two of the judges' cards, while the third had it 112-112.
