First of all, a belated Happy New Year to you all. I wish you health, happiness and prosperity in 2018 and all that you’d wish for yourself. A blog probably has been a bit overdue so let’s go! Discretion being the better part of valour I decided to forgo the long road trip to Bristol…
So, what can I say, we reach Christmas second in the league and in the quarter-finals of the BBL Trophy with a home tie to look forward too. We may even get an indication of how that could go with our last game of 2017 being away in Sheffield. Many, if not all of you,…
Seems like a good time to launch another blog especially as I haven’t for over a week now. Perhaps this one will get lost in the myriad of all other things that will be going on this weekend, not least of which is tonight’s crucial game against The Scorchers. Plus, non-Eagles wise but very much…

So, we’re off on a road trip that for me starts in and finishes in Cramlington visiting Byker, Bristol, Plymouth and Byker again. If I have my maths right, a little old round trip of 848 miles for 80 minutes of basketball, I must be mad! No, I must be dedicated, and I must be…
