GB men net vital victory
Simon Munn in action for Great Britain
The British men's wheelchair basketball team kept their Paralympic medal hopes alive with a 75-43 victory over France.

Britain went into the match desperately needing a victory after losing their opening Group A matches against Italy and Australia.

And they were never troubled against France, racing into an early lead and building their advantage throughout the rest of the match.

Simon Munn top-scored for Britain with 25 points and Colin Price added 17.

Britain lost to France twice during the summer, and coach Dave Titmuss was delighted with the result.

"Our senior key players really performed, which we had been preparing them to do," he said.

"France are a dangerous team and to come out and play well once we were ahead was what we needed to do.

"We haven't done that in the last two games, but we did this time. I'm pleased."
