London Storm bounced back with a 52–40 win over North East Bulls but couldn’t maintain momentum, falling to Leicester later in the day.
Cheltenham Tigers ended the day with a crucial 47–40 win over North East Bulls to stay in the hunt.
Day 2 – Sunday 22 June
Sunday’s fixtures built toward a dramatic finale. Leicester Tigers opened with a 55–44 win over North East Bulls, while London Storm fell to both West Coast Crash (56–46) and Cheltenham Tigers (54–42).
The day culminated in the headline and final clash between the two unbeaten sides: West Coast Crash and Leicester Tigers. In a high-stakes, high-intensity showdown, Crash emerged victorious 56–48, sealing their place at the top of the Group with a perfect record.
“While Saturday was a bit of a slow burner, teams hit their stride on Sunday, giving us some great games and a glimpse into how competitive the rest of the season will be. London, Cheltenham and Bulls all showed that they can compete with the top two for patches of the game, with more consistency and connection (and another high pointer for the Bulls) the games will be even closer.
It was exciting to see so many Pathway players get a chance to compete at this level, we believe competition is vital for players development and the premiership certainly stretches and challenges their skill set.”
