At the fourth time of asking, Esh Group Eagles Newcastle picked up their first pre-season win and it was made all the sweeter as it was in front of their faithful fans at Sport Central. The Eagles who will continue to play out of Sport Central for the commencement of the 2018/19 as they await…
It may be 0 – 3 so far in 2018/19 for the guys but it’s not doom and gloom and remember last season we started in spectacular style and looked like world-beaters. Obviously, one does not mean the other will happen so what does it mean at this stage? Well, we’re still unbeaten in the…
So, we’re back on UK soil and have been since Sunday and after almost a week’s solid practice we get to let off some steam and see what improvements we’ve made since the Belgium trip by visiting one of our biggest rivals over the years, Sheffield Sharks. It’ll be interesting to see how the likes…
