Basketball: Uni in dark over call-off

Edinburgh UNIVERSITY women have still not had a satisfactory explanation for the postponement of last week’s away game with Sheffield Hallam in the British Universities Northern Premier Division, a vital game if they are to avoid relegation, for neither team have yet won a game.

Edinburgh have still to play Hallam twice and both games will now have to be in the new year, when the teams may have different playing strengths.

Edinburgh are at least through their Championship play-off game after a 99-27 win over Strathclyde, but Edinburgh Uni men lost to Northumbria 99-52.
