Tyneside is well known for its rich tapestry of sporting rivalries but few can match the passion and pride synonymous with the annual battle for university supremacy.
Each year your Team Northumbria squad relishes the chance to stand toe to toe with our friends from across the central motorway and contest the famous Stan Calvert Cup. An intoxicating day of sporting competition – culminating in the showpiece rugby clash at Gateshead’s International Stadium – see the competitive battle lines drawn like never before.
The universities of Northumbria and Newcastle compete on various levels every week of the year. But it is in the sporting arena where a keen rivalry manifests itself most. It is all about us and them, ours and theirs. And as the current holders of the Stan Calvert Cup, the pressure is on us to retain the only piece of silverware which really matters to staff and students alike.
Whatever your sporting pedigree you can play a key role in the bid to keep Newcastle at bay. Play, coach or clap your way into the history books. Make Stan Calvert the key date in your sporting diary and make it another TN night to remember.
Be sure not to miss the Stan Calvert Memorial Cup 2010!
