Westfield Sharks Sheffield continued their domination of Southern Conference opposition notching up consecutive victory number 15 in cross-division  games defeating the Leopards 73-77 on Saturday night.

The Sharks - who trailed for much of the first half - had to withstand a late rally from the Leopards after looking to be in control at 76-68 with 2m 20s remaining. The Leopards, despite losing coach Bob Donewald to a second technical foul, rattled off the next 5 points to take the game within a score but could get no closer.

Sharks Terrell Myers led all scorers with 22 points with Rashod Johnson topping the Essex outfit with 19.
