Northumberland and Durham Association Cup

[2] The trophy stood 30 inches high, with a figure of Victory on top bearing a laurel and palm reath, and bas-reliefs of the coat of arms of Northumberland and Durham, and St George and the Dragon.

[5] Rangers indeed was the first champion, beating South Durham representatives Haughton-le-Skerne 1–0 in the final, played at the Tyne Cricket Ground.

[6] In the semi-final Rangers had beaten Sunderland 5–0,[7] although the lop-sided nature of the draw meant that Houghton-le-Skerne had had a bye into the final.

[9] Rangers won the replay 2–0; the first goal was scored by Simms in the first half, and Lochhead clinched near the end, unmarked enough at a corner to nod the ball down to himself to finish.

[10] 1882–83 was the final year of the competition, and it saw its biggest entry of 21 clubs, including Sunderland and Newcastle East End.
