Knights get revenge over Ayr

London Knights gained revenge for last week's Challenge Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Ayr Scottish Eagles by beating them 5-2 in the Sekonda Superleague at the London Arena last night.

Ayr took a 2-1 lead when Teeder Wynne and Rhett Gordon replied to Jay Neal's opener but Knights' assistant coach Paul Rushforth made it 2-2 with his first goal since early November.

Despite playing their seventh game in 12 days London pushed on for the win and were rewarded with three unanswered strikes from top scorer Bryan Richardson, Brendan Yarema and Rush-forth, the last in the dying seconds.
