Leicester Riders' Rob Paternostro will face his former coach Tony Garbelotto when his side take on the Everton Tigers on Saturday.

The rookie head coach is friends with the Great Britain assistant coach and they both have an Italian heritage.

Riders captain Rod Wellington told BBC Radio Leicester: "Both are very passionate about the game so it should be fascinating."

Riders are looking to bounce back after losing by a point to the Cheshire Jets.
