Here is the latest position in the Northumbria and League Cup competitions:

Ladies' Northumbria Cup (for the top 4 Division 1 teams)

The semi-finals and finals will be held at the Northumberland Club on Thursday 10th April (7:15pm) and Saturday 12th April (5:30pm) respectively.

The Ladies' competition will involve league leaders and overwhelming favourites Newcastle University Ladies 1, 2nd-placed Northumberland Ladies 1, Northern Ladies 1 and either Tynemouth Ladies or Northumberland Ladies 2, depending on final league placings.

Men's Northumbria Cup (for the top 4 Premier teams)

The semi-finals and finals will be held at the Northumberland Club on Friday 11th April (7:15pm) and Saturday 12th April (5:30pm) respectively.

The Men's competition is likely to involve league leaders and favourites Northern 1, 2nd-placed Newcastle University 1, and two of the top three Northumberland Club teams (1A, 1B and 1C). Northumberland are the holders, having won the league and cup double last seaon as Northumberland 1, but this year have split their strength amongst their three Premier teams, perhaps to give the other clubs more of a chance!
