Noelia Cacheiro insists the future remains bright for women’s basketball in the North East as her beaten but unbowed Newcastle ‘warriors’ fight on this week. The Eagles wrap up the regular season with trips to Cardiff tonight and Oaklands Wolves on Saturday with no more than pride to play for. But despite Newcastle’s failure to…
Not the same score-line but an almost identical performance from the Newcastle Eagles Ladies saw them slip to their second home defeat in two and officially drop out of the end-of-season play-off race.

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.
