Love gunning for cup and trophy double

Plymouth made it to the BBL Cup final at the weekend – and coach Gavin Love is not ready to stop there.

The Raiders saw off Worcester Wolves 193-172 on aggregate to set up a final showdown with Newcastle Eagles next month at the NIA in Birmingham, where they will look to repeat the 2007 BBL Trophy Final, where Plymouth upset Newcastle 74-65.

Love and his side are also through to the last four of the BBL Trophy this season, and they are hungry for a double cup success.

He said: “Last season to finish fifth in the league was a great achievement, but this year we’re aiming to get to two cup finals.

“That would be fantastic, wouldn’t it?

“We’re through to one already and I’m really, really happy.”

“It’s great to see us start to get what we believe we deserve. I’m honoured to be the guy to lead us out in Birmingham in January.”
