Perhaps unsurprisingly the London Lions padded into the Vertu Motors Arena and ruined new Head Coach Matt Newby’s opening stint on the Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles side lines. But Newby is a realist and he knows that a game like this is not one that will define his tenure nor his side’s season. What he…

It was as expected a tough night for the Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles against a seriously stacked Caledonia Gladiators roster that runs 12 deep. Anyone of the Gladiators able to step up and into a seamless transition for their team. Contrast that with Newcastle’s bench was does not have anywhere close to the same depth…
The Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles got their Women’s British Basketball League campaign off to a flying start down in Manchester on Sunday. An excellent second half effort and in particular third quarter paving the way for the win.

It would appear that the Seriös Group Newcastle Eagles Head Coach Noelia Cacheiro and her players have a lot of work to do before they open their Women’s British Basketball League campaign against Manchester Giants on October 20th.

But playoff quarter-final defeat to the wealthiest club in the…
A defeat on the day but overall a victory as the Newcastle Eagles WBBL made it by the skin of their teeth into post-season play. They do so because the three teams chasing the final two play-off places all finished with identical 9 wins and 13 losses. Cardiff Met Archers, Durham Palatinates and The Eagles…
The Newcastle Eagles WBBL fate will go to the last game of the season despite a heroic road win at Cardiff last night. Needing to win by ten points to confirm their play-off place Head Coach Noelia Cacherio’s came up agonisingly short. An eight-point victory for Newcastle bizarrely means it was a better result for The…
A desperately disappointing weekend has seen Newcastle Eagles WBBL side drop out of the play-off positions with only two games of the regular season to go. A loss at home in the Vertu Motors Arena to Cardiff on Saturday night was compounded by a road loss in the derby clash at Durham. Even worse for…
