COMMONWEALTH QUALIFIERS POSTPONED

Scotland’s basketballers could lose home advantage in their bid to reach the Commonwealth Games.

It comes after this month’s qualification tournament in Paisley was called off due to Covid.

The two-day event was due to pit the hosts against Wales and Northern Ireland for single berths in the men’s, women’s and wheelchair 3×3 competition in Birmingham.

But it was confirmed on Thursday that it will be postponed with organisers now facing a headache to reschedule during the club season.

“We are awaiting an extension to be granted by Commonwealth Games Federation and Birmingham, but everyone seems supportive of us hosting at a later date,” said Barry Lang of Basketball Scotland.

“We still want it to be decided on the court.”
