The 2012 winners were Dunston UTS, who beat West Auckland 2–0, in an all Northern League tie on 13 May at Wembley Stadium.

Famous quotes containing the word vase:
“Forgotten and stinking they stick in the can.
And the vase breath’s better and all, and all.
And so for the end of our life to a man,
Just over, just over and all.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
