Basketball: Cadle looks to back-up men

London Towers' coach, Kevin Cadle, hopes his walking wounded will play a role in tonight's European Cup first-round group game against Honved at Wembley, but knows that success depends on his back-up players.

"The other guys have stepped up to take responsibility in the European games," Cadle said. "If they continue to play at this level, then when the injured players come back we'll have taken some benefit from all this. But if they slip back to being complacent bench players it will have been a waste."

Neville Austin, Karl Brown and James Hamilton missed last week's defeat in Belgrade.

Watford Royals have sacked their coach, Dana Beszczynski, after losing all six League games this season, the last four by more than 30 points each.
