Lightning struck twice for luckless Newcastle as another narrow loss on the road capped a miserable weekend for Marc Steutel’s men. The crestfallen Eagles returned to Tyneside with nothing to show from two winnable games at Bristol and Plymouth. But Steutel will look back on a fruitless 825-mile round trip with a mixture of frustration…
Marc Steutel will accept nothing less than a Newcastle win in this afternoon’s BBL clash at Plymouth after the Eagles let slip more precious points on the road. The men in black led by as many as 14 at Bristol Flyers on Friday only to finish the night on the wrong end of an 81-75…

Newcastle Eagles return to the court tonight for the first time in almost two weeks as they take on closest BBL rivals Sheffield Sharks. The Eagles have lost both league games against the Sharks this season and can ill-afford another loss tonight. The Vertu Motors Arena will again be packed for a ‘must-win’ game for…
