Abingdon Eagles caused a big upset to reach the last 16 of the English League's under 18 national play-offs.

The South West Conference champions, defeated Premier Division side Plymouth Cannons 59-56 at Oxford Brookes - to the delight of their large contingent of supporters.

Leading 11-10 after the first period, Eagles increased their advantage to 30-26 at half-time.

This was then extended to 50-40 at the end of the third quarter.

However, Plymouth hit back to go 56-51 in front and it needed a three-pointer from Lukas Aleksandravicius a minute from time to put Eagles back in front - and the same player then closed the game with two free shots in the dying seconds.

Eagles will next play Hackney in London on March 29.

Eagles scorers: Aleksandravicius 20, Pugh 16, Rudd 7, Mannix 6, Friend 5, Doig 3, Ryan 2.
