London United took a consolation from their heaviest home defeat of the season so far against the Chester Jets in the BBL Championship, with a good win over EBL 1 side, the London Leopards.

The battle of the capital turned out to be quite lame as London United showed their class to see off the Leopards, 113-84.

United put together a 7-0 run, including five from Philip Perre, to start the match which set the pace for a 25-16 advantage at the first interval. The lead was stretched to 55-38 by half time and was at 30 (81-51) deep into the third quarter.

The Leopards team fielded two youngster in the shape of 16-year-old Levi Noel – son of BBL veteran Leon Noel – and 16-year-old Mike Jarvis. Leopards battled throughout, but were no match for United’s experience. Tarick Johnson kept up his impressive scoring form with 19 for LU, followed by Phil Perre on 18 and Chris Haslam on 17. For Leopards, Calvin Fowler notched 20 pts, with Duncan Ogilvie matching that, whilst Errol Seaman scored 13. London United are now 1-1 in BBL Trophy Group, South 1.
