A rare treat of some Wednesday night basketball for all Sharks fans as Atiba and the team head on down to Devon for a swift rematch against the Plymouth City Patriots. The Pats pushed the Sharks all the way in a defensive battle last Friday before Coach Lyons’ side pulled away down the stretch for an eleven point win.

Wednesday – Patriots v Sharks – Plymouth Pavilions – 7.00pm

Ones To Watch

Kofi Josephs – Bounced back from a quiet shooting night against the Sharks to record 24 points in the south west derby against Bristol on Sunday. Was successful in ten of his twelve trips to the free throw line.

Elvisi Dusha – No points in the 78-58 loss to Bristol but pulled down 6 rebounds to go with 5 assists, 4 steals and a block. Contributed 6 assists against the Sharks as well as being second highest Plymouth scorer with 12.

Joe Hart – Another deadly shooter on his day, who proved that point with 16 at Bristol on seven of twelve attempts.

Cameron King – Fouled out against the Sharks last week but not before he had cleaned the glass 9 times. Underlined his rebounding capabilities with 8 against the Flyers on Sunday.
