Peel to remain with GB women
Great Britain women's wheelchair basketball coach Garry Peel has confirmed he will stay in the post for the European Championships.

Peel took over the position ahead of last month's Paralympic World Cup and has agreed to stay on until September.

"We laid the foundations in Manchester and the players responded very well," he told BBC Sport.

"Our shooting let us down and that is the key thing we will be working on ahead of the Europeans."

Peel will hold an open trial at Stoke Mandeville on Saturday 11 June and will then select the panel for his first training session a fortnight later.

The top three finishers in the European Championships qualify for next year's World Championships but Great Britain will face a difficult task to secure a place.

"The Netherlands and Germany are both very tough but there will be another place up for grabs so hopefully we can challenge the likes of France for that one," said Peel.
