The day after Bonfire Night the Newcastle Eagles were not able to produce the fireworks on court to blow the Bristol Flyers away and take a third successive Super League Basketball (SLB) win. After a great weekend with two road wins at Leicester and Caledonia their home return was not what they were looking for….
Newcastle Eagles entered November in similar vein as they left October with a superb 99–92 road win up in East Kilbride Scotland against one of their closest rivals the Caledonia Gladiators. In doing so they boosted their Super League Basketball (SLB) record to 6-wins and 3 losses. A record that gives them second place in…
For the second week in a row the Newcastle Eagles went 1 and 1 on a tough double-header weekend in the SLB. This time it was the opposite scenario. A solid home win followed by an unlucky road loss in a game that for long periods they looked likely winners. Ultimately a dogged physical Liverpool…
Newcastle Eagles bounced back in tremendous style on Sunday afternoon to take an excellent road win down in Sheffield by 87 – 81 in the SLB Championship.

It was an exciting front-foot display that had the packed Vertu Arena crowd on their feet. The fans responded with their loud and…
Newcastle Eagles completed their pre-season programme with their third win out of three games played with a comprehensive win over long standing Super League Basketball (SLB) rivals Sheffield Sharks in the Vertu Arena on Sunday evening. The margin of victory in the end was convincing, but it was a totally different game to the one…
