Trophy semi-final spot up for grabs as Eagles host Sharks

Marc Steutel will be looking to mastermind another Eagles victory tonight

(GARY FORSTER)

Steutel has warned his Newcastle Eagles to be wary of a Sheffield side on a revenge mission when the two old rivals square up in a crucial Super League Basketball Trophy group game tonight.The teams meet for the fourth time this season, with the Eagles fresh from last Friday's superb 80-68 SLB Championship victory against the B. Braun Sharks in the Steel City.

The Sharks hold a 2-1 advantage in the league over their Friday-night hosts, but perhaps that road win seven days ago will give Newcastle a slight edge on their home court this evening.
