The Dan Haslam Memorial Cup brings Tamworth FC and North Companions FC together each year to honour a man who holds a special place in the history of both clubs.

Dan played his junior football with North Companions before joining Tamworth at senior level, continuing to play while undergoing cancer treatment, a reflection of his determination, character and love for the game.
