WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Super League action returns this weekend with unbeaten table-toppers Oaklands Wolves hosting Leicester on Saturday evening.

The St Albans-based Wolves cruised to a 69-54 victory in November’s reverse fixture. Nottingham visit Cardiff Met for Saturday’s early tip off before Essex face Manchester and Newcastle meet Durham Palatinates in the north-east derby.

Second-placed Sheffield are in East Kilbride to face Caledonia on Sunday afternoon.

DARTS: World champion Luke Littler beat world number one Luke Humphries 6-5 in the final to take the second round of this year’s Premier League of Darts on Thursday night in Glasgow.

Littler beat Michael van Gerwen 6-2 in the semi-finals after Humphries had come from behind to see off Gerwyn Price 6-4 in his last four clash. Dublin hosts next week’s third leg of this 17 round tournament that culminates in May’s final in London.

Reece Bellotti faces Michael Gomes Jr for the British and Commonwealth super-featherweight title on the undercard.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: It’s first against second in the Scottish Championship on Saturday afternoon, as league leaders Falkirk are up against an Ayr team that thumped them 5-2 in mid-December.

Third-placed Livingston play Dunfermline, bottom of the table Airdrieonians are at form-team Greenock Morton, Raith Rovers meet Partick Thistle and Hamilton, who have lost their last four games, visit Hampden Park to face Scottish Cup giant-killers Queen’s Park.
