We head into the second month of the calendar year with lots to play for across the BBL this weekend.
Leeds Force pulled off one of their biggest results in the BBL last weekend as they defeated Esh Group Eagles Newcastle.
Matt Newby’s side claimed their fourth win and now have Bristol Flyers in their sights with their opponents four wins ahead in eighth spot.
“We know what we are capable of and have been working towards results like the one against Newcastle,” declared Jack Isenbarger.
“It was a fantastic result and we had a great environment at the Carnegie Sports Centre which we hope continues.
“Our mindset has to be aggressive and attack mode. We know we have been getting better.”
Surrey Scorchers will look to inflict a rare third straight league defeat on the Eagles when they head to Sport Central tonight before welcoming Worcester Wolves for an important Trophy clash.
