The top two both recorded victories to put further daylight
between them and the chasing pack, Leicester Riders still have a four-point
lead after a 52-point win over Leeds Force, whilst Newcastle Eagles won a
thriller in Sheffield against the Sharks to put a further four points between
them and third place. That defeat for
the Sharks allowed Glasgow Rocks to sneak past them into third after they
defeated a disappointing London Lions in Scotland on Friday evening, the Lions
themselves had an awful weekend as they also lost on the road at The Scorchers
in Surrey meaning they now drop to sixth and are only ahead of the Scorchers on
Percentage of Wins now, and only two ahead of Cheshire Phoenix and Bristol
Flyers in eighth and ninth. Phoenix
themselves managed to win on the road at Manchester Giants at a sold out
Trafford Sportsdome whilst Worcester Wolves, fresh from reaching the BBL Cup
Final last weekend, won both their games at the weekend, although both were
tight against Plymouth Raiders and then Surrey Scorchers, however those four
points took them to a season high fifth in the table.
