Sunday saw an altogether different story for the Storm as their National Cup defence failed at the last-16 hurdle, with a 69-65 defeat away at Worthing.

Storm were sloppy from the start, and flirted with a late comeback but ultimately got what they deserved as Seth Swalve missed a shot on the buzzer to send the game to an extra period, succumbing Storm to their fourth loss of the campaign.
