A massive first quarter performance formed the backbone of Kularoos Plymouth Raiders thumping 92-54 home win against Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders.

Needing a victory to give the Trophy holders a realistic chance of retaining their crown the Raiders came out fast against a shell-shocked Riders side. A 16-0 start to the match ensured they held a healthy 31-7 first quarter lead.

The advantage was rammed home in the second quarter as Riders were once again held to single digits for a 52-16 half time score. Although Leicester almost matched Plymouth after the interval it was too little too late.

Raiders’ DeAntoine Beasley led all-scorers with 20. Rod Wellington’s 15 was the highlight for Leicester.
