Rob Paternostro was appointed Leicester Riders coach in June

Leicester Riders warmed up for the new BBL season with a double victory over old rivals Derby Trailblazers.

Rob Paternostro's side beat Derby 99-58 at home on Saturday and then recorded a 96-73 away win on Sunday in the pre-season double header.

The game between the two rival teams was a regular fixture until Derby dropped out of the BBL in 2002.

Leicester will take on London Capital in the first game of the new BBL season on 27 September.
