Basketball: Polonia Phoenix show mercy to Saints

.

Polonia Phoenix have agreed to replay their Scottish Women's Basketball League home game against St Mirren, which was postponed last weekend as St Mirren were forced to call off citing a shortage of players.

Under league rules, Polonia would have been entitled to claim the points for a victory in the game, down to be decided at Holyrood High on Saturday afternoon.

But club secretary Julie Ritchie commendably said: “We’d rather play the game and we’ll try to get it fitted in somewhere.”

Polonia’s next league game is against Falkirk Fury on Thursday, January 21, at home.
