Kularoos Plymouth Raiders kept up their hopes of a home first round play-off match with a convincing win over an injury-ravaged London United at the Pavilions.

The Raiders rode a strong first quarter performance which saw them lead 35-8 after ten minutes throughout the rest of the match with London never getting close enough to mount a real challenge on the lead.

After that shocking opening quarter London trailed 54-29 at half time and 67-54 at three quarter time but could only score 12-points in the final stanza as the Raiders eased home. London United did well with their depleted and injury-hit roster to contain the Raiders scoring.

Gaylon Moore led the scoring for Plymouth with 20 while United’s Tarick Johnson hit another 20+ point performance with 34 for his game high total.
