07/03:   Results headlines:   

BBL: Newcastle beat Sheffield comfortably, to take the head-to-head series and go top; Leicester boost top-four hopes with overtime victory at Milton Keynes;

EBL 1: Manchester gain some compensation for their Trophy Final defeat, as they win at London Mets; Bristol climb into top four;

EBL 2: Brixton edge close victory over Birmingham University to keep their title challenge alive;   

EBL 3: Loughborough finish their regular season with victory over Manchester, in North, but Sefton won at Sabres [result not in till Monday!] leaving them still able to overtake the Cardinals if they win their last two (home) games; that result in Sheffield also means that the cross-town Saints take second place from the Sabres, with head-to-head advantage;

A week after winning the South title, Eastside lose their unbeaten record, as Trophy winners London United haul themselves up to second place; Hackney did win their late-result match, but still have three postponed games to fit into the next week!

EBL 4: Wirral keep the pressure on Bury in the North;

EBL 1 Women: Hatters maintain their momentum;     

EBL 2 Women: Hallam-Hatters clinch a play-off spot, as at worst one of the two best-third-placed teams;

U-18 Men: Westminster cling on to their unbeaten record, by a single point at Medway Park n the South Prem.;

EBL 2: Durham win by 21 at Glyndwr (though the result’s not on EB yet) to move within one win of the title; also not on EB is Mansfield’s win at Edmonton (don’t know the exact score); Plymouth lose at Medway Park, to guarantee that Marjon finish in the bottom two, while the Crusaders climb into the play-off places;   

EBL 3: Sheffield Saints win at Sabres to hand the North title to Bradford Dragons;

A week after winning the South title, Eastside lose their unbeaten record, as Trophy winners London United haul themselves up to second place;

02/03:   EBL 3: Loughborough‘s play-off hopes take a huge knock, with defeat at Bradford Maroons;

01/03:   By public demand (one person, anyway), the Diary’s back ... with a tale to chill the blood (well, it chilled mine).   

28/02:   After a very hectic day, and a return train journey without a (pre-booked) table-seat, which left me (and my laptop) stuck in an “aircraft” seat with pull-down tray, I’ve had insufficient energy to do more than complete the bare results since I got home, Rest will follow tomorrow.   

Results headlines:   

Patron’s Cup: Durham take big win over Westminster to lift their first national silverware;     Pawprint Report

National Trophy: Manchester‘s Final hoodoo strikes again, as London Mets take the title.

U-18 Men: Unbeaten Uxbridge see of second placed London Spartans to secure the South-east Conference title; At Sevenoaks, with the home side down to three players, the referees end the game two minutes into the third quarter, and award it to Worthing (Report);

15/01:   It doesn’t appear to have been formally announced (except to those teams whose fixtures are affected), but London Heathrow Acers have withdrawn from EBL1 Women! With a decent 4&4 record, AND ONLY A MONTH AFTER THEY APPEARED IN THE Cup semi-final, I can only surmise that this must be related to finance.
