Noelia Cacheiro heaped praise on her energetic bench after a strong start and explosive finish bookended Newcastle’s second win on the bounce. The in-form Eagles head into a two-week break sitting pretty in sixth place in the WBBL. And the women in black proved their playoff pedigree after overcoming a nervy period either side of…
