THE fact it took until early December for Leeds Knights to lose their first NIHL National game in regulation speaks volumes for how well they have performed this season.

Yes, the 4-1 defeat on home ice to Swindon Wildcats on Sunday night will have hurt and, combined with results elsewhere, it also saw the Knights’ narrow lead at the top of the standings finally disappear as the equally-relentless Peterborough Phantoms drew level on points.

The Knights do have a game in hand but, in a perfect piece of timing, will find their title credentials sorely tested next Saturday when the in-form Phantoms pay a second visit of the season to Elland Road.

Leeds Knights see NIHL National lead and regulation loss status disappear in one night
