Our BBL team tip-off at home against the London Lions in the first leg of the 2023 Play-Offs Quarter-Finals this coming Friday 28 April at 7:30pm.
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…
Newcastle Eagles completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in British Basketball League history to book their place in the 2023 playoffs.
