Bristol Flyers held off a second-half push from Cheshire Phoenix to secure a 101–92 win in a back-and-forth contest that saw eight lead changes and five ties. The victory was hard-fought rather than commanding, with the difference built over a stretch of dominance rather than a decisive final run. Flyers controlled much of the middle quarters. They built an 11-point lead late in the first (17–28 with 2:47 remaining), then extended it further when a 9-0 run midway through the third pushed them to 52–59. At three-quarter time, they held a six-point advantage at 74–80. Cheshire Phoenix, however, clawed back in the fourth, closing the gap to single figures, but Bristol's margin proved enough to Holden on. The half-time score stood at 52–54. Davion Bailey led Bristol with 21 points on efficient shooting (8/15 FG, 5/10 from three), while Cameron Holden added 14 points and five assists and Michael Diggins Jr contributed 14 points. For Cheshire, Isaiah Gray was the standout, posting 22 points on near-perfect efficiency (7/9 FG, 4/4 from three), alongside 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Jordan Hinds chipped in 16 points. Cheshire Phoenix head to London Lions on Wednesday 23 September.
