The Super League games between the Scottish Eagles and Basingstoke Bison, and Manchester Storm and Bracknell Bees, offered fans the thrills of extra time - but none of the sides could find a winning goal.

Ayr, who have yet to lose a game this season, led 2-1 only for Richard Little to tie the game with 10 minutes left. Ayr dominated the 10 minutes of overtime, but the inspired form of the Bisons' goal tender, Richard Gallace, stopped the Eagles collecting the extra point.

Manchester Storm must have felt that they threw their game away. They twice led by three goals, only for Dale Junkin's short-handed goal to set up a Bracknell comeback that tied the game 5-5 with seven minutes left.
