The draw for the semi-finals of the 2015 BBL Cup has taken place and the door has been left open for a potential third successive Final between holders Leicester Riders and Esh Group Eagles Newcastle.

However, before Riders can even contemplate their semi-final tie against Bristol Flyers, let alone a third successive BBL Cup Final success; they need to firstly negotiate the last remaining quarter-final match-up.

Rob Paternostro and his side must overcome Glasgow Rocks in the last eight if they want to secure a meeting against the Flyers, who stunned Worcester Wolves last Friday night to reach their first ever semi-final during their rookie season as a BBL franchise.


In the other half of the draw, the Eagles are out to make the Final of the competition for a fourth campaign in a row but standing in their way are Sheffield Sharks.

The Sharks are searching for a return to the Final for the first time since 2011, when they completed back-to-back victories, having won the competition a year earlier.
