CoLA Southwark Pride (3-0) stayed perfect on the year after a thrilling 55-53 win over Thames Valley Cavaliers (1-2).
Emily O'Connell scored the game's final basket to put the Londoners up by two with 78 seconds remaining, though neither team would add to their total the rest of the way.

London Lions II's (1-2) winless start to the season is over after 19 points from Nicholle Lavinier and 16 more from Fatmata Janneh pushed the Lions to a 61-49 victory over Nottingham Trent University (0-2).

Loughborough Riders (3-0) held Bristol Flyers (0-3) to just eight points in both the first and second quarter as the Riders secured a 60-43 win this weekend.

Finally, there was a first win of the season for Anglia Ruskin University (1-1) as they went to Wales and defeated Cardiff Met Archers II (1-2) 60-50.
