Newcastle have their eyes on the prize tonight as the WBBL Trophy opens up a much-needed route to redemption for the embattled Eagles. Chris Bunten’s side has lost nine of the last 10 games in all competitions and endured back-to-back defeats last weekend. But the visit of Manchester Mystics in the Trophy quarter-finals offers a…
Right now, The Newcastle Eagles need a break, in more ways than one. A punishing schedule cumulated in their four loss in five games down in London last night.
