Durham Wildcats are EBL Division 2 Champions
Durham Wildcats clinched the EBL Division Two title on Saturday afternoon, as they made good use of their longest trip of the season to beat Plymouth Marjon by a healthy margin.
The following day they treated their home fans to a thrilling game at Newton Aycliffe. Struggling to get going in the first half, after the long journey home, Durham finally slipped into gear in the third quarter, against old rivals Westminster, and held on at the end to snatch victory by a single point.
After their match against Plymouth, coach Dave Elderkin said:
"It's a great feeling to have the title in the bag, with a game in hand and it's a tribute to the way these guys have responded throughout the season.
"However" he added, "we did ourselves no favours in the first half, and I'm not quite sure how we led by ten at the interval. It was only when we started to play proper defence off the ball that we were able to play our usual game, though the final scoreline made it look far easier than it was."
