Arch back to best for GB

A MUCH-IMPROVED display by Scotland’s representative, Dunfermline’s Robert Archibald, saw the 6ft 11in centre virtually seal his place in the Great Britain team for the Eurobasket Championship finals which begin in Lithuania on August 31.

The 31-year-old Queen Anne High FP scored 11 points, took six rebounds and played some impressive defence as GB, without NBA star Luol Deng, very nearly pulled off a shock win over Serbia, losing a basket with two seconds to go to go down 97-95.
