Tynemouth will be looking for a League and Cup double for both their Men's and Ladies' 1st teams, and for their Men's 2nds to repeat their cup win of last season, when they play host to the Cup Finals and End-of-Season Presentation Night tonight, Saturday 11th May. However underdogs Northern will be out to stop Tynemouth in both Men's and Ladies' Northumbria Cup finals, and also Northumberland in the Ladies' League Cup. A weakened Sunderland should still run Tynemouth 2 close in League Cup A, and League Cup B between Eldon 2 and Primrose 3 is anyone's guess.
Here is today's programme at Tynemouth:
12:20pm: Ladies' League Cup Final (for Ladies Div 1 & 2 teams)
Northumberland Ladies v Northern Ladies 3
2:20pm: Men's League Cup B FInal (for Div 4-7 teams)
Eldon Leisure 2 v Primrose 3
2:20pm: Men's League Cup A Final (for Div 1-3 teams)
Sunderland 1 v Tynemouth 2
5:00pm: Ladies' Northumbria Cup Final (top-4 Ladies' Premier teams)
Tynemouth Ladies 1 v Northern Ladies 1B
5:00pm: Men's Northumbria Cup Final (top-4 Men's Premier teams)
Tynemouth 1 v Northern 1
There is free entry to these matches, all welcome.
There is also free entry to the Presentation Night which starts around 8pm at the conclusion of the cup finals. After County chairman Dave Barnett has summarised the season highlights, Nigel Miller of League sponsors Kidd & Spoor will present certificates to all league divisional winners and runners-up and 'players of the division', and trophies and individual medals to all cup winners and runners-up. The evening will be rounded off by a buffet (ticket-only) with the chance to look back on the 2018/19 season and forward to the 2019 Summer League with fellow squash players and spectators in convivial surroundings.
Buffet tickets costing £5 each are available from the Tynemouth Squash Club bar (tel: 0191 2573895) - these should be purchased in advance directly from the club.
