Sheffield Sharks turn the tables on Cheshire Phoenix

Having lost 89-97 at home only 4 weeks earlier to Cheshire, the Sharks turned the tables tonight as they won 97-86. This follows a fine 90-62 victory over Glasgow Rocks last Sunday to help the Sharks up the table.

Jeff Dirkin of Cheshire fouled out with only 62 seconds left on the clock and a number of free throws allowed Sheffield to extend their deserved winning margin.

MVP with 30 points and 9 rebounds - TJ Robinson.

Sheffield Sharks fail to upset unbeaten Leicester Riders

Sheffield Sharks couldn't quite keep last weekend's fine form going and remain winless in the British Basketball League as they go down 96-77 to as-yet-unbeaten Leicester Riders at the EIS, Sheffield.

In what had threatened to become a three-point shoot-out, Sharks took a 44-39 lead into the break after some fine work from the whole team to step up to the plate.

Leicester came back strong in the third quarter to lead 67-60 and they then kept it tight at the back to deny Sheffield a way back into the game.
