Chester Jets moved top of the Northern Conference of the BBL Championship with a 80-64 victory over near rivals, Manchester Giants, the seventh consecutive BBL win for Robbie Peers' unbeaten side.

"It's a great feeling to be top," said the 36-year-old play-caller, who equalled Mike Burton's club record for victories on the trot.

"We had a good weekend. We definitely improved and went up a level, but I think we needed to and we will have to continue to.

"We are not going to look at the table until March, because that's when it starts to count. What we do now is just knuckle down and prepare for the next test. We treat everyone with respect and don't look down on anyone or look up at anyone either. 

"We have got to keep a level head. We want to just challenge in every game we play and be competitive and if we do that, then everything else takes care of itself." 

Although the visiting Giants started the brighter, a 13-0 run in the first quarter brought the Jets back into it at 17-9 ' a lead that Jets never surrendered. 

Jets added to their lead with six three pointers in the second quarter and a 10-4 tear in the third period and although Giants rallied and won the fourth quarter, it was too late.

James Hamilton and Tarik Wallace led Jets' scoring with 24 points each, while Giants' Justin Phoenix led all scorers with 28 points.
