Your support makes all the difference.London Towers, fresh from victory in last weekend's 7-Up League Trophy final, must begin reeling in the challengers for their Budweiser League title this weekend when the table's top four clubs meet.
Towers, in second place with Sheffield Sharks, are at home to joint leaders London Leopards tomorrow. Tonight Sheffield visit Birmingham Bullets, who share top place with the Leopards.
Birmingham's Nick Nurse, February's coach of the month, whose team have won 12 games in a row, said: "We've jumped on people early and stayed in front, but we won't have that luxury against Sheffield."
Towers have three games in hand over Leopards and Birmingham and one over the Sharks. Leopards' American guard Eric Burks was rested from Thursday's 93-83 win over Worthing Bears because of a thigh strain, and returns against the Towers.
Leopards lifted the National Cup in January, and their coach, Billy Mims, said: "It's one of the League's great rivalries between us and Towers and it should get even bigger now both of us have some silverware."
