Starting with the football team who did all the hard work in the first half of their game at the Guildford Spectrum. Dan Moody scored a hat-trick in the first half whilst a brace from Joel Hughes saw the home side 5-0 at half-time.

The Heat went away to Sheffield on Friday but they weren't struck with the Friday the 13th curse as they beat the Sharks 80-78 in another nail-biting win. It came to the final plays of the game for the winner to be decided. Drew Lasker got the winning basket four seconds from time.

The Flames' crucial game against second place side the Milton Keynes Lightning ended with David Longstaff scoring a decisive goal five minutes from time to give the away side a 6-5 victory. However, they couldn't extend their lead at the top of the EPL table as they squandered a two-goal lead to come up short against the Slough Jets with a 4-3 loss.
