Yes they were the better team and probably deserved to win but the difference between the two was not that much. Arrows were without their overseas player, and their most experienced player, captain and talisman Sam Spare missed about half the game with a split lip that wouldn't stop bleeding!!! That said Leicester have a good mix in experience with for example the high scoring Spatcher, good size size with Raynoso and Tyler ? along with some real athletes and I'm sure will cause some shocks along the way. Arrows played some good team ball with Fadoul, Murray and Kidder particularly catching the eye and i'm sure there's much more to come from this young team. Also should mention Andrew Purnell who probably played his most minutes in about 4 years due to injuries and is sure to be a big influence as he builds his fitness. Also saw the Sabres overcome a very well drilled Loughborough in Div 3. Sabres are stacked and very good to watch. Young former Arrows guard John Kelly was very influential and the experience of the likes of Pete Scantlebury and Richard Windle added to the workhorses of the team such as Brad and Josh Wilson makes Sabres a real force to be reckoned with. For you 'oldies' like me here today at the EIS were former BBL stars Scantlebury, Windle, Rankine, Martin Ford and Karl Brown. On top of that I think Mark Spatcher played for Towers plus I saw Garnet Gayle and Dave Attwell were in the crowd!!! Heaven!!!

It was the lowest scoring game in 15 years of Leopards basketball, and Reading's score was the second lowest amount of points Leopards have conceded in a game. Both teams have a lot of work to do.

It's hardly the ideal way to prepare for the defence of their title, not to mention their remarkable perfect season last year. It's disappointing that the rivalry between Reading and Manchester doesn't look like being as intense this year... here's hoping I'm speaking too soon!

I hope things get sorted though, or this season could be quite dull.
