Following a competitive group stage and semi-finals, the North West Men’s League Cup Finals Day returns on Saturday 15 August at Portico Vine in St Helens, with three Rugby League fixtures across the afternoon.
Finals Schedule
Shield Final - Hindley Stags Reserves v Oldham St Annes A (K.O. 11am)
The opening game sees Hindley Stags Reserves face Oldham St Annes A.
St Annes will be looking to improve on last year’s final defeat to Ashton Bears A. Hindley advanced after a convincing semi-final win over Woolston Rovers A, while St Annes earned their place with a closely fought home victory against Thatto Heath Crusaders Academy.
Trophy Fina - Westhoughton Lions v Golborne Parkside (K.O. 1pm)
Westhoughton Lions then meet Golborne Parkside to battle for the NWML Trophy.
Notably, Golborne who were runners-up in 2025, confirmed their place in the final with a tense 13–12 semi-final win, holding on under pressure to secure their place on Finals Day and will hope to do one better this Saturday.
Cup Final - Folly Lane v Hindley Stags (K.O. 3pm)
The day concludes with Hindley Stags against Folly Lane in the headline fixture.
With two sides competing across the event, Hindley will hope to take silverware back to Wigan, while Folly Lane will be intent on denying them the Cup.
Hindley booked their place with a 32–12 win over Halton Farnworth Hornets, while Folly Lane edged Shevington Sharks 32–30 away from home. The finalists sit first and second in the NWML Premier Division, just four points apart, setting up an exciting finale.
Supporters are encouraged to head to Portico Vine for what promises to be another well-attended NWML Cup Finals Day!
