Lamble fired up for Tigers clash

Leicester Riders centre Barry Lamble has told BBC Radio Leicester he is determined to get revenge against Everton Tigers on Friday.

Lamble told BBC Radio Leicester: "We'll beat them this week after our horrible loss against them last time."

And the 25-year-old, who has returned after a bout of illness, said he is looking forward to seeing new signing Bradd Wierzbicki play this weekend.

The Riders also face Cheshire Jets in the BBL at home on Saturday.

Lamble added: "We've managed to grind out a couple of hard wins.

"By Christmas I think we'll be firing on all cylinders and there's not going to be a team in the league that can stop us."

Head coach Rob Paternostro said Friday will be a tough test for his side.

"It's a difficult game but the difficult games come thick and fast now.

"It's five games in 13 days, after the Cheshire game on Saturday, two of those were long, long journeys, so this is the stretch where we have to get through it.

"If we can get through this with our head above water I'll be pretty satisfied," Paternostro said.
