Not a good weekend for Patriots on the road

THE Plymouth City Patriots hit the road once again last weekend, and despite two solid displays, came up short.

Not a good weekend for Patriots on the road

It would be a torrid weekend for the Patriots, as they faced the daunting task of two away games with less than twenty hours between them.

Leicester was the first destination, to face the on form Riders, a team that the Patriots have yet to win against in their short existence. The game was a close affair, with both teams scoring freely and running some impressive plays, including an impressive alley-oop dunk when Elvisi Dusha fed a pass to Jacob Wiley for an impressive highlight play. With one quarter to go, the Riders held a slender 5-point lead, but with quality in depth, the Riders managed to connect on big plays down the stretch and pull away for a 102-81.

The turnaround would pay dividends to the Plymouth side's success.
