Newcastle took the final cup of the season, whilst Tyne and Wear secured the League title at the first attempt with two wins in a week.

Newcastle met Frankland in the League Cup Final and it was the Tynesiders who picked up their first ever trophy with a pulsating victory. Newcastle twice came from behind to win 3-2. Frankland led from the third minute, when Ian Gibson's cross was helped into the net by the Newcastle keeper. The game went through a period of settling down as both teams probed each others strengths and weaknesses. Then on 26 minutes, Dave Oakes slalomed through the Frankland defence before slotting the ball into the bottom corner for an equaliser. The success was short lived as two minutes later, Malcolm Penney survived appeals for handball, before lifting the ball over the keeper to restore the Prison Officers lead. The lead didn't last long as Newcastle levelled again, within five minutes with a goal from Koby Cohen.

The second half saw Frankland start well and were close to scoring twice, but the Newcastle keeper redeemed his early blunder, with fine stops. Then Newcastle were awarded a free kick about twenty yards out and Koby Cohen curled his shot into the top corner, leaving the Frankland keeper helpless.

Both sides had chances to score more goals, with Frankland having a late effort ruled out for offside. In the end Newcastle did enough to secure the victory.

Tyne and Wear played twice this week and inflicted crushing defeats on Durham Fire and Langbaurgh. The 8-1 win over Durham Fire avenged the early season defeat that their occupational derby opponents had caused. Scorers were Troy Curry (2), Lee Chape (2) and one each from Kevin Simpson, Kevin Farrell, Paul Russell and Paul Douthwaite.

They then followed that win with a seven goal thrashing of Langbaurgh, to secure the league title in their first season with the league. Scorers were Phil Sowerby (2) and one each from Paul Russell, John Cook, Paul Douthwaite, Kevin Farrell and on his debut, Jez Hilton. Great credit must go to Garry Teasdale who runs the team, along with Jez Hilton the secretary.

Sunderland Saints maintain their quest for second place, beating Stockton 5-1 with a hat-trick from Les Goodcliff, the highlight. Unfortunately, second spot will be decided on the outcome of unplayed matches, of which the league is likely to have ten.
