At the 42nd annual Sport Newcastle dinner on Thursday night we were awarded the title of Team/Club of the Year and in particular for the achievement of building and opening our Eagles Community Arena. The yearly event in the Banqueting Suite of Newcastle’s Civic Centre began as always with fundraising for the charity which supports young…
In what was the final game for your under18 Eagles, and their sixth game in a very tiring eight days, with both national league and academy games, your very tired Eagles travelled to Edinburgh to play a red-hot Kings team. In a first quarter that saw Edinburgh get out to a flying 16-0 start it…
With two more games for the Under 18’s Eagles a win was vital, but it looked tough as they went against a team who had previously beat them by more than 30 points. But a second win in 3 games at the Eagles Community Arena didn’t seem impossible… A cagey first quarter saw both teams…
Lightning rarely strikes twice. But on a night when Newcastle needed another win at the Eagles Community Arena to stay within touching distance of second-placed Leicester Riders, a thunderous start laid the foundation for an invaluable victory.

Chris Bunten has promised Newcastle Eagles WBBL will put their house in order after the club’s playoff push was halted in its tracks. Two damaging defeats within 24 hours saw the Tynesiders lose valuable ground in the race for a top four spot. And Bunten admitted his team needs to get better fast – with…
With the top two in The BBL, London Lions and Leicester Riders, both in action and winning on Friday night, it was imperative that third-placed Esh Group Eagles Newcastle did likewise to stay in touch at the top in their home clash with Bristol Flyers. That’s what, in the end, they did in front of…
