In their third attempt at winning the cup, they played Gosforth in the final on April 8th 1933. The opposition had a slight advantage in the tight scrummages, but in half backs Goldsmith and J. Clark, Ashington were markedly superior. The half backs continually kept Gosforth's backs on the defensive. Ashington scored their first try through Percy Bates after a break and pass by J. Clark, Robinson kicking the conversion. The second try was scored after H. Clark crossed the line with the support of his forwards. The try was not converted.
