Reckon you could slam dunk a bagel? This week Eagles players Corey Johnson and Chloe Gaynor went head-to-head at our sponsors Dot Bagels in a “Bagel Shootout” to build their very own bagel! The rules of the game meant that every bagel they got in the basket won them an ingredient for their creation, but…
A fantastic final quarter comeback wasn’t enough to prevent Newcastle Eagles from slipping to a second defeat in three days. But another feisty display against top four opposition will fill Noelia Cacheiro’s fast-improving side with confidence heading into another must-win homecourt double header. Leicester Riders wrapped up a 10-point win but not before gutsy Newcastle…
Layne Murphy is confident Newcastle Eagles have found common ground just in time to launch a late season push for the playoffs. The in-form American was one of a slew of new signings hastily thrown together in a bid to bolster a depleted roster in January. And ahead of tonight’s trip to fourth-placed Leicester Riders,…
Beaten but unbowed Newcastle Eagles head to Leicester Riders tomorrow buoyed by a battling performance against high-fliers Sevenoaks Suns.

Sevenoaks head to Tyneside with a fearsome 16-1 Championship record and…
Two of our Eagles WBBL players have been selected in the latest All-Star Five with Chloe Gaynor and Layne Murphy’s weekend performances getting the well earned praise. Chloe Gaynor was the MVP in our Eagles’ Sunday win over Durham Palatinates in the big North East derby at the Vertu Motors Arena. The former Great Britain U20 international…
Newcastle Eagles have parted company with main sponsor GiveToLocal prior to the end of an agreed two-year partnership with the Tyneside-based sport organisation. British basketball’s most successful franchise will remove all GiveToLocal branding from the club’s playing kit, website, social media channels and sites across the Vertu Motors Arena with immediate effect. Both the club’s…
A buoyant Noelia Cacheiro believes Newcastle Eagles have finally turned a corner following a season of turmoil — after going from the bullied to the bullies in the WBBL.
