Uniball Trophy : Leopards faultess in Trophy
Whatever the distractions and slip ups which London Leopards have suffered in the Championship and Cup of late, the uni-ball Trophy has rapidly become their profitable distraction.
Saturday's 76-98 defeat of Solent Stars leaves Bob Donewald's new charges with a 4-0 record on top of their qualifying group, making the Londoners the first side to qualify for the quarter-final phase.
The 22 point margin was identical to the differential when these two sides met in the Cup first round, Leopards again the victors then.
The Division one side trailed by just eight points at half-time, but with Alan Cunningham hamped by an achilles injury and Panji Grainger unavailable, they ran out of steam during the second half as Leopards eased to victory.
Brandon Brantley and Kenya Capers joint top-scored for Leopards with 24 points, while Colin Irish led the way for Solent with 24.
