MEN’S BASKETBALL: London Lions continued their miserable EuroCup form with another last-gasp defeat, going down 78-79 at Group B’s bottom team Athens on Wednesday evening. 

The Lions led by seven after the first quarter and still had a one-point advantage before Lewis Matt sank two free throws to win the game in the very last second. 

London are in eastern France to face table-topping Bourg-en-Bresse next week.

MEN’S RUGBY UNION: Glasgow take an eight-match winning run and three-point United Rugby Championship lead into tomorrow evening’s match with Munster at Scotstoun. 

Second-placed Cape Town Stormers are three points behind the Scots with a game in hand before they visit Durban, who beat them last weekend, on Saturday afternoon. 

Third-placed defending champions Leinster host lowly Edinburgh on Saturday evening.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: 29-year-old Ivan Toney bagged his second hat-trick in eight days as Al-Ahli brushed aside Al-Ettifaq 4-0 on Wednesday evening to stay second behind Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. 

Northampton-born Toney is now the league’s leading scorer, two ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Qadsiah’s Mexican international Julian Quinones. His huge salary has reportedly scuppered a transfer window return to the Premier League.

MEN’S CRICKET: England face New Zealand in the Under-19s One Day World Cup Super Six at Bulawayo tomorrow needing a win to guarantee a place in the semi-finals. 

The English have a 100 per cent record from their first three games, while the Kiwis have yet to register a win. 

Defending champions Australia booked their spot in the last four on Wednesday with a 22-run victory over the West Indies in Harare.
