European North Basketball League

Regular Season Round 11: Spartak Pleven - Newcastle E. 95-91

Date: December 17, 2025
Rather expected game when bottom-ranked British Newcastle Eagles (0-4) lost on the road to twenty third ranked Bulgarian Spartak Pleven (3-3) 95-91 on Wednesday. Spartak Pleven made 34-of-45 free shots (75.6 percent) during the game, while Newcastle E. only scored eighteen points from the stripe. They outrebounded Newcastle E. 46-28 including a 37-22 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was an exceptional evening for Serbian-Bulgarian swingman Martin Sotirov (201-1999, agency: 011 Sports) who led the winners and scored 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. American center Noel Brown (211-2000, college: St.Bonaventure) accounted for 25 points and 13 rebounds for the winning side. American point guard Terrell Burden (178, college: KSU) came up with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and the other American import guard Deion Hammond (193-1999, college: Monmouth, agency: One Motive Sports) added 18 points respectively for Newcastle E. in the defeat. Five Newcastle E. players scored in double figures. Spartak Pleven moved-up to twenty first place, which they share with Dubrava and Rigas Z. Loser Newcastle Eagles still closes the standings with four games lost. Spartak Pleven will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Newcastle E. will play against Olomoucko (#24) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
