The Sharks who are battling for the play-offs in the league managed the win against a Leicester side who had lost only three games in all competitions and the Sharks were without Micah Williams who will miss the rest of the season with an injury.
But Atiba Lyons' side picked up the deserved victory with a brilliant defensive display and dominant first-half.
The Sharks started well with BJ Holmes superb throughout scoring five from seven 3-points shots made as the Sharks looked impressive.
At one point the Sharks ha a twelve point lead but Jay Cousinard helped the Leicester Riders claw the game back.
The Riders have lost three times in the BBL Trophy final to a deficit of 71 points. They had managed to come through a tough semi-final against Worcester Wolves who nearly caused an upset and the Riders became the favourites - but it was Sheffield's day.
MVP: BJ Holmes - 25 points, 3 assists, 7 rebounds.
