The 2007 season of the National League Cup is sponsored by Northern Rail as was the previous years. Various teams from the National leagues of England compete. The winners are usually National league One teams. This was evident as Widnes Vikings won the competition in 2007.
Famous quotes containing the words northern, rail and/or cup:

“We rail at trade, but the historian of the world will see that it was the principle of liberty; that it settled America, and destroyed feudalism, and made peace and keeps peace; that it will abolish slavery.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I write mainly for the kindly race of women. I am their sister, and in no way exempt from their sorrowful lot. I have drank [sic] the cup of their limitations to the dregs, and if my experience can help any sad or doubtful woman to outleap her own shadow, and to stand bravely out in the sunshine to meet her destiny, whatever it may be, I shall have done well; I have not written this book in vain.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
