Christian Keepen (19 points) again led the Pivotonians scoring, while Nick Kent finished with 15.

With Seb Loader and Nick Owusu missing, veteran guard Keith Harrison again carried the load for the Eagles with 21 points.

YMCA proved too good for an under-manned Rovers’, running out comfortable 69-31 winners.

Mitchell Herbert led Y with 17 points, while new dad Jordan Hill finished with 16.

Andrew Tonkin was Rovers’ best with 12.

Four players scored in double figures for the Bears, with Chantelle Brockett (22 points) again starring.
