led Livingston Bulls to their thirteenth Scottish Cup victory, beating
Glasgow City Brightsiders 76-62 in a much closer final than the score
suggested at Meadowbank yesterday.
The scores were tied 38-38 at half-time and the teams traded basket

in Cardiff but showed a big improvement on their last international
performances.

Scotland had beaten Wales 84-55 on Saturday night and now hope to go
to the Commonwealth Championships in Malaysia in July.
Their showing against the holders and Commonwealth champions England
in their opening match -- they went down only 67-56 -- raises hopes of a
medal if they get to Kuala Lumpur. Results:

England 76, Ireland 72; Scotland 71, Ireland 74; England 94, Wales 34.
