With December's mid-season break closing in fast, this week's action provides plenty of teams with another chance to press on with their ambitions before the impending layoff.
We take a look at all the action below.
The North Conference gets the larger share of the five games this week, with a trio of contests starting with BMET City of Birmingham Rockets' (1-2) quest to get back to .500 against a Manchester Magic (3-1) team that is currently tied at the top of the standings and own the EABL's hottest offence (94.3PPG).
Myerscough College (3-0) are still the team to beat after their early successes, keeping a perfect record thus far and looking to make it four in a row as Derby Trailblazers (1-3) and EABL scoring leader Casey Burr (21.5PPG) come to town.
That just leaves an interesting contest between SGS College (1-3) and Charnwood College Riders (2-2), with both teams trying to get into the mix with the likes of Manchester and Myerscough above them.
Edward Onyia is having a great campaign for the Midlands programme, averaging 19.8PPG and 14.8RPG, and he'll be looking for more of that production against an SGS side who allow an EABL-second highest 94.7PPG.
There's an exciting clash at the top of the South as Itchen College (3-1) and Barking Abbey (3-0), with both teams currently residing in the top four and looking to push on ahead of the mid-season break
Another team in the mix at the summit are City of London Academy - Southwark (3-1), who lost their season opener against Barking before peeling off three wins in a row.
They'll look to pile on some more misery for winless Oaklands College (0-2), who have been bested twice in their two games to date.

Myerscough College vs Derby Trailblazers
SGS College vs Charnwood College
City of London Academy - Southwark vs Oaklands Wolves
Itchen College vs Barking Abbey
It's a switch up in the WEABL, with a more top-heavy offering in the South than the North, starting with a top vs bottom clash as JMA Reading Rockets (0-3) make a difficult trip to Copleston High School (5-0).
The Suffolk side won the reverse leg of this fixture 81-22 on opening day, with the Rockets no doubt hoping to avoid a repeat of that kind of score line.
Another high-flyer facing a winless team are City of London Academy - Southwark (3-1), who welcome Oaklands Wolves (0-2).
CoLA allow just 50.5PPG through four games, and with the Wolves' offence ranking middle of the pack in the WEABL right now, expect a typically low scoring clash in the Capital.
That just leaves Barking Abbey's (0-2) trip to Itchen College (2-2) to round out the trio of South games, with Itchen looking to cement a top four spot whilst BA are still looking for their first W of 2024/25.
In the North, Milton Keynes 5 Dimensions Breakers Academy (0-3) will be hoping it's fourth time lucky for picking up their first WEABL win, and they'll have a trip to Nottingham Academy Wildcats (2-1) to try and make that a reality.
WEABL leading scorer Elizandra Costa (23.5PPG) will be hoping to keep the good times going for Manchester Mystics (4-0), who are still unbeaten as conference leaders.
They'll welcome The Sheffield College (1-2) in the first meeting between the two sides this season.
