In der BBL firmierte die Herrenmannschaft der Eagles als Panthers, bevor sie nach drei Jahren 1996 wieder zurückzogen und noch bis 2001 in den unteren Division der NBL spielten. Im Seniorenbereich blieb daher seitdem nur das Damenteam übrig. Der Vereinsname Danum Eagles gründet sich auf die Danum Academy, die wiederum ihren Namen vom alten römischen Namen Danum für die Stadt Doncaster herleitet. (de)
