The Northumberland Club once again played host to the Cup Finals and End-of-Season League Presentations on Saturday 9th May.
Remarkably Northern, who already held three of the five cups were competing in every one of the cup finals.
The action started with the Ladies' League Cup Final between Northern Ladies 2 and Primrose Ladies. Northern retained their trophy despite being run very close by Primrose, the match ending 3-2.
This was followed by the Men's League Cup B FInal between Newbiggin 2 (champions of Division 4) and Northern Juniors (champions of Division 5), with Juniors emerging victorious by a narrow 3-2 scoreline.
At the same time in the Men's League Cup A Final between Newbiggin 1 and Northern 2, Newbiggin reinforced their league superiority cruising to a comfortable 5-0 victory over a slightly weakened Northern team.
The afternoon was rounded off with the Northumbria Cup finals. In the Ladies' Northumbria Cup Final between University Ladies 1 and Northern Ladies 1, the University retained their title with a 4-1 win against a very depleted Northern team.
In the Men's Northumbria Cup Final between Northern 1 and University 1, Northern quickly raced to an unassailable lead, eventually winning 4-1 to complete a second consecutive league and cup double.
There was a great atmosphere for these finals, which were followed by the annual League Presentations when certificates were presented to all divisional winners and runners-up, 'players of the division' (see details here), most prolific player and overall player of the season, and trophies and medals to all cup winners and runners-up. There was an opportunity to look back on the 2025/26 season and forward to the 2026 Summer League.
This rounded off three days of cup squash at the Northumberland Club, who also hosted the Ladies' and Men's Northumbria Cup semi-finals on Thu 8th and Fri 9th May respectively.
