Raiders need a strong defensive display to come away with points

LAST weekend's weather chaos added another victim to its list, with Wales taking the brunt of Storm Darragh and with the safety of players and fans in mind, the decision was made to postpone Plymouth Raiders' away game to Cardiff Met Archers, writes Martyn Norman.

Raiders now find themselves having only played four league games so far this season, the fewest in the division.

Raiders have two remaining games before the Christmas break starting this weekend when they travel to face table-topping Portsmouth Force.

Raiders will face the Hampshire club at home in the New Year after the original fixture was postponed due to Portsmouth's involvement in the National Cup.

The Force won't be strangers to the Green Machine, though, with Raiders beating them last season in the club's first game back playing competitive basketball.
