neighbour (hopefully):

Standard Life under-20 men bounced back from their heartbreaking failure to qualify for the semi-finals of European Championship B Division to hammer Portugal 91-66 this afternoon.

Tim Lewis' side will now face Israel in the fifth place play-off on tomorrow, and the GB coach was delighted with how his team reacted following their elimination from the promotion round: "We were a little bit tired, and that's why the major players didn't play too much. But it was another good performance, and everyone contributed.
"We're really come together as a group , they're great team-mates and that gets us through games.

"It wasn't easy for them to miss out on the semi-finals, and they could easily have walked away from this one. So it's a real credit to the boys that they've stuck at it. We're looking forward to tomorrow and staking a claim for fifth place."

Five Brits were in double figures, with Alex Marcotullio leading the way on 17 points, as all 12 GB players got on the scoreboards and no-one played more than 25 minutes.

Will Neighbour and Ovie Soko each finished with 15 points, adding six and five boards respectively, while Ryan Martin added 12 and Andrew Lawrence ten.
