Derby Trailblazers began the
defence of their EBL Men's Trophy with hard fought 64-57 home win
over Westminster Warriors. New American guard Nick Rose, who joins
the club as part of its partnership with Derby University, top
scored with 21 points, to which he added six rebounds and two
assists.
Martyn Gayle led the team from the back court with authority and
maturity which was befitting of his new role as co-captain. The
popular guard eased his way towards 19 points and 8 rebounds, while
another new signing Jeff Smith led the team in rebounding, pulling
down 11 boards, five of them at the offensive end of the court.
