Eagles | 29 | 11 | 25 | 23 | 88 | 164 | Win |
The sporting public of Leicester may well shake in fear when they hear the name of Newcastle called as their direct opponents. After Newcastle Eagles women’s team took down Leicester Riders in the WBBL Play-Off Quarter-Final earlier in the month, the men’s team followed suit.
Squeezed in between the two hardcourt heroes’ wins was also a win for the Toon’s football club over the Foxes making it a superb couple weeks for the city of Newcastle but not for Leicester. Last night the Eagles performance was one for the ages as they blew away the regular season Champions.
