Sport in brief: March 25, 2024

MEN’S BASKETBALL: London Lions travel to Paris for tomorrow evening’s first leg of their best of three EuroCup semi-final clash. Paris have home advantage for two of the legs due to their superior regular season record with the second leg at the Copper Box Arena on Friday. The winners will face either Besiktas Istanbul, who knocked out defending champions Gran Canaria, or France’s Bourg-en-Bresse in the final.

WOMEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Challenge Cup holders St Helens resumed their bid for a fourth successive trophy by brushing aside Bradford 48-0 while Cardiff earned their second win after thumping Salford 58-0 and last year’s runners-up Leeds romped to a 90-0 victory at Hull KR. Featherstone saw off Sheffield 38-6, Wigan edged Barrow 20-18, Warrington won 24-6 in London and Leigh slipped up again, 36-6 at home to Huddersfield.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: England’s Under 21s continue their Euros 2025 qualification campaign tomorrow evening when they host Luxembourg in Bolton. The Young Lions will be looking to follow up last week’s 5-1 win in Azerbaijan which kept them second in Group F, three points behind leaders Ukraine who take their 100 per cent record to Azerbaijan tomorrow night. Northern Ireland travel to Serbia in the group’s other game.

MEN’S ICE HOCKEY: Marc-Olivier Vallerand netted twice as Sheffield Steelers beat Guildford 7-3 on Sunday evening to seal their first Elite League title since 2016. They also notched up the domestic double having beaten the same opponents in the Challenge Cup final a fortnight ago. Manchester sealed their play-off place with a double-header win over Coventry while Nottingham’s hopes of reaching the last eight faded after defeats to Sheffield and Cardiff.
