York Knights delivered a memorable performance in the Betfred Super League, securing a 34-32 victory over St Helens. This win ends an 80-year drought for York against Saints, with their last triumph dating back to 6 April 1946.
The match was tightly contested, with both teams level at 16-16 at half-time. York's tries came from Jon Bennison, Oli Field (2), Denive Balmforth, Paul Vaughan, and Nikau Williams, while St Helens' scores were from Jake Davies, Shane Wright, Jack Welsby (2), Harry Robertson, and Jacob Douglas.
St Helens, currently under the interim charge of Eamon O'Carroll following Paul Rowley's exit, have now lost eight of their past 12 matches. The 10-time Super League winners remain in seventh place, facing the prospect of missing out on the play-offs for the first time.
York, who had lost to Huddersfield last week, are set to travel to Leigh on Friday. St Helens will aim to revitalise their season against Hull FC on Thursday.
