Knights were desperately unlucky to leave Kent empty-handed after their first away game of the season. The Norfolk side controlled and led the game for the vast majority of the match until Kweik found the rub of the green to sink a handful of goals in the final minutes of the game.
A lengthy stalemate started the game, which was finally broken by a penalty from Lenny. Kweik eventually equalised to instigate the first change of ends nearly 15 minutes into the match. However, Knights eked out a lead and found themselves two goals up at half-time.
The advantage kept changing from 2 goals to 3 goals in Knights' favour. When the Champions Trophy winners scored to make it 9-6 with 10 minutes remaining, it looks like they would be going home with their first ever victory against Kweik.
However, Kweik's audacious shots began to bear some fruit and where they were missing, they began to drop. In the other half, Knights were suffering from the opposite. They were replying with some good attacks, but the shots simply would not drop, hitting the rim and bouncing away.
Kweik seized the initiative and managed to take the lead for the first time in the game with only minutes left. A frantic attack from Knights attempting the equaliser ultimately resulted in nothing and they would be traipsing back to Norwich with their second defeat of the season.
The result will be a bitter pill to swallow as for most of the game they did more than enough to earn the points. Having lost out by one goal in so many games last season, Knights will be hoping the same does not cost them this time round.
