The Doncaster Eagles are an English basketball club, based in the city of Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The team plays in the North conference of the 2nd Division in the National Basketball League (NBL), the third tier of British Basketball.
The Eagles joined the English Basketball League in 2014, and rapidly ascended through the Divisions 3 and 4, achieving back-to-back promotions. However, upon reaching Division 2, the club were forced to move their home games 25 miles away to Scunthorpe due to the unsuitably of their home venue to host Division 2 games. [1] The team struggled with the move, losing the positive momentum built up over the last couple of years, finishing 11th in their inaugural Division 2 season and facing relegation back to Division 3.
The Eagles took the decision to withdraw during 2017–18 season due to financial constraints, re-entering the NBL in Division 4 for the 2018–19 season. [2][3]
As of the 2021-22 season, the Eagles have competed in the NBL Division 2's North conference, finishing third-place at the end of the season, with the Eagles' own Robert Marsden being awarded 'Player of the Year' in Division 2 North.
The team continues to compete in the 2nd Division going into the 2022-23 season.
