Sheffield Steeldogs 1 Leeds Knights 3: Lewis Baldwin double gives Knights half-time Autumn Cup advantage
LEEDS KNIGHTS snapped a five-game losing streak and gave themselves a two-goal advantage at the halfway point of their Autumn Cup semi-final with Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Steeldogs.
Knights’ head coach Dave Whistle had spoken before the game about his team adopting a more defensive approach and finding some secondary scoring. He got both.
Defenceman Lewis Baldwin, thrust into an unaccustomed forward role scored twice, assisted on both by Manchester Storm forward Harry Gulliver, who capped a man-of-the-match performance with a late power play strike.
