When it’s not your time, it’s not your time. Newcastle Eagles travelled to Cheshire Phoenix yesterday already eliminated from The BBL Cup and destined to finish bottom of the North Group. Since the season opened it’s been a catalogue of misfortune for Head Coach Ian MacLeod and his men and that theme unfortunately continued prior…
The slow start that has plagued the Newcastle Eagles men’s team in the BBL seems to have infected the WBBL team as they dropped a home game to Riders they really should have won. Leading 28 – 16 after a hotly contested first half they fell apart in the second half as Leicester completely turned the game around….
Newcastle Eagles go into tonight’s sold-out game against Manchester Giants at the Vertu Motors Arena knowing only a win can keep their hopes of qualifying for the BBL Cup quarter finals alive.

A courageous performance from the Newcastle Eagles against all the odds in Glasgow last night saw them come up agonisingly short at the end of heroic 40-minute effort.

Elvis Presley used to sing “It’s Now or Never.” That might be exaggerating it a bit but there’s no doubting that Newcastle Eagles desperately need a win to kick-start their season and have a chance of retaining the BBL Cup they won last January. The next opportunity for them to do exactly that comes in…
There has to be real concern for Newcastle Eagles and their head coach Ian MacLeod after his new-look roster slipped to their third consecutive defeat on the road in Manchester last night.
