12. Leeds Force Played 13 Won 1 Pct 0.077 Pts 2
The top two produced a thriller in the north east and it was Leicester Riders who snatched a last gasp win over Newcastle Eagles to take top spot from the North East side. Leicester followed that up by crushing Leeds Force by 45 points on Sunday to reach the Last Eight of the BBL Trophy and complete a terrific weekend for the Midlands outfit. The Force had a weekend to forget as they were destroyed at Worcester Wolves by 56 points the day before and remain bottom of the BBL Championship standings. And in the only other league game of the weekend Bristol Flyers won on the road at local rivals Plymouth Raiders to make it six wins for the season as they climbed up into sixth spot. Other teams to reach the BBL Trophy Quarter Finals were Sheffield Sharks, London Lions and Cheshire Phoenix.
The draw has now been made for that round and here it is:-
Cheshire Phoenix Vs Worcester Wolves
Plymouth Raiders Vs Leicester Riders
Newcastle Eagles Vs Sheffield Sharks
London Lions Vs Falkirk Fury/Loughborough Student Riders
The final BBL Trophy Round One tie between Fury and Student Riders takes place in Falkirk on Wednesday evening, with the winners travelling to the Copperbox Arena to face The Lions.
Right here are next weeks fixtures
