Leopards
went 0-5 on their recent US tour. Bullets went 4-4.
Back from the States

off their tour lag and came up trumps for a 109-87 victory over Birmingham
to leap to third in the Southern Conference.
In the second quarter
Leopards raced away with the game - outscoring the Bullets 20-3 to lead
54-29. Leopards were never in trouble after that and had four players scoring
19 or more points.
Jason Kimbrough posted
a double double 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Ben Walker with 29
and Brant Bailey on 22 paced Birmingham who added Stephen Barnes to their
roster before the game. The 6'8" England international, once a Bullets
junior, joins the team following a spell at Kinder London Towers.
