The Northumberland Senior Cup is the county’s premier competition and was first competed for in 1884.
The Stan first competed in the cup during the 1925-26 season when they were defeated 5-0 at home in the preliminary round by Jesmond Villa. They also entered the competition in 1938-39 and 1939-40. Their first Senior Cup win came on 25 January 1947 when they won 3-2 at Hexham Hearts in the second qualifying round. After winning 2-1 at North Shields in the first round, they were beaten at home in the semi-final 2-1 by Newburn. The Stan also entered the cup for the next 25 seasons. Of note is their first preliminary round tie against Alnwick Town in 1955-56 when they won 6-4 (after extra time) in the fourth replay. In 1963-64 they made the final for the first time where they were beaten 4-3 by Whitley Bay after extra time.
After competing from 1946-47 to 1971-72, the Stan missed a season before returning to Senior Cup involvement for another nine seasons. In 1980 they again reached the final when they were beaten 2-1 in a replay by Ashington after a 0-0 draw. After the 1981-82 season, the Stan were not involved in the competition again until 2005-06 and 2006-07 and again in 2008-09. The club did not meet the qualification requirements again until their second season back in the Northern League in 2014-15.
