A long overdue blog methinks but in all honesty there has been little to blog about or has there? No, I don’t want to mislead you all, I haven’t a lot, if any, of the information that I’m sure you’re all craving but I have some opinions on some of the things that have been…
Leeds Force
First, yes, it is April Fools Day but I’m posting this after 12:00pm so you know that it’s not a joke. Secondly, yes, it has been a long time since my last blog and for those thousands who have implored me to blog again, well the two or three of you anyway, I apologise for…
Fabulous Flournoy isn’t one for putting his feet up. Then again, Leeds Force aren’t in town every week. And if there was one game Newcastle Eagles’ veteran player-coach could afford to miss it was surely the visit of the BBL’s bottom club.

Esh Group Eagles Newcastle return to Northumbria University Sport Central tonight for a BBL Championship clash against fellow Esh Group sponsored nearest neighbours Leeds Force, writes Jeff King. Leeds have only won one game all season and whilst they have used no fewer than 23 players to turn their season around nothing has changed and…
Well now, I wonder how many remember this? Record breaker, if you’re the tallest, the smallest, if you beat them all. If you’re the fattest, the thinnest, if you always win. If you’re the fastest, the slowest, if you really go. Then you’re a record breaker, A record maker. Yep, that’s exactly what did on…
Esh Group Eagles Newcastle opened their BBL Championship challenge on the road in Leeds tonight, writes Jeff King.
