Surrey Scorchers ended their wait for a first home win this season after beating Cheshire Phoenix 67-61 on Saturday.
Will Neighbour top scored with 19 points in the win and was delighted for his side to get off the mark on their home floor.
“It was fantastic to get the win [on Saturday], not only for us as a team but for our fans also,” he enthused.
“It has been a very hard start to the season with double-headers and players coming in late but we are starting to come together as a team now so things are looking up.
“I think we can get a good winning streak going but we have to take it one game at a time.”
