What a weekend of drama in the SLB Play-off Semi-Finals as the old guard of Leicester and Newcastle make it through to The O2. Undermanned Newcastle won both their legs against league champs London, whilst Leicester came from 20 down in leg one to win their tie after overtime in the second leg.

London claimed the title with an emphatic victory over Leicester, but there was plenty of drama elsewhere as the regular season came to it's conclusion and play-off places were decided by a basket in Bristol and Cheshire.

The title race is down to two as London end Sheffield's chances of winning the league, but Leicester stay alive with two tight home wins. Eagles get back to winning ways and reignite their top four chances as Manchester lose twice. And the play-off dream is over for Caledonia.

What a week for Caledonia with wins over Sheffield and Leicester to keep their play-off hopes alive, whilst Surrey also posted back-to-back wins over the weekend.
