We have new leaders at the top of the South One table after Basingstoke Bison narrowly defeated Milton Keynes Thunder to go a point ahead of Peterborough Phantoms. The Phantoms themselves were not in league action themselves but did suffer a loss at Sheffield Steeldogs in the National Cup, which saw them sink to the bottom of their group. Streatham are up one place to 7th after they scored a tremendous double at the weekend, defeated Bracknell Bees and Milton Keynes Thunder in successive nights to make it a good weekend for the South East Londoners. And London Raiders netted a double over Invicta Dynamos, beating them in the league on Saturday before netting a National Cup win in overtime on the road Sunday.

Oxford City Stars now have a seven point lead at the top after they put eighteen past Lee Valley Lions, a result which saw Lions go back to the foot of the table after Swindon Wildcats 2 grabbed their first win in eleven attempts by trashing Invicta Mustangs to go a point above Lions. Mustangs did thrash Slough Jets the night before though so not all bad for the Kent side, whilst Bracknell Hornets made it nine wins from ten games after downing Basingstoke Buffalo on the road. And the only team that have beaten the Hornets this season, Chelmsford Chieftains, pulled away in the third period to see off Peterborough Phantoms 2 for the second successive weekend and saw the Riverside based club into sixth spot and with games in hand still could easily be in the top four in a few weeks.
