It was a bad night at the office for the Newcastle Eagles WBBL side last Saturday night as minus four senior players they had to take on the domestically unbeaten London Lions. It was therefore no real surprise at anyone when Lions took the win but perhaps the margin of victory was. A score line…
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall when Newcastle Eagles Head Coach Noelia Cacheiro analyses her side’s performance in Sheffield. Not quite a game of two halves but certainly a game of two parts. The Eagles stormed out of the blocks early on in the game catching Sheffield cold. They also…
It has been a very fragmented start to the 2022/23 season for the Newcastle Eagles Ladies team. Injuries and unavailability of players meant Noelia Cacheiro’s team has only played three WBBL fixtures so far this campaign. Indeed, they even had to forfeit a BBL Cup game against Essex Rebels as they could not field a…
Our Eagles allocation for our BBL and WBBL double-header away trip to Sheffield on Sunday 23 October has sold out, but fans can still get discounted tickets to be there with an exclusive promo code from the Sharks’ ticket link. Both our teams will visit the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre with our Eagles facing the…
Former Team Northumbria favourite Nicolette Fong Lyew Quee came back to haunt her former franchise as the Sheffield Hatters star lit up the Vertu Motors Arena.

The new face at the helm of Tyneside’s top flight women’s basketball team finally gets to taste homecourt action this weekend — five weeks after landing her dream job….
The gulf in class between the WBBL’s leading teams and the chasing pack was brutally exposed in Sheffield last night as the homecourt Hatters cruised to a 20-point win against Newcastle Eagles. The visitors, missing head coach Chris Bunten and GB 3×3 star Abby Lowe, endured a slow start and a nightmare finish as Vanessa…
Doing her team’s dirty work doesn’t concern Dora Cipcic as the in-form Croat prepares to put her body on the line again this weekend. The Newcastle Eagles guard has forced her way into Chris Bunten’s starting five on the back of a series of no-holds-barred displays off the bench. And Cipcic is relishing another opportunity…
Abby Lowe can become the ace in the Eagles’ pack following her best effort yet in a Newcastle vest. That’s the verdict of playcaller Chris Bunten ahead of this weekend’s rearranged trip to Essex Rebels. Lowe played all 45 minutes in last weekend’s thrilling overtime win at Oaklands Wolves and landed a spot in the…
