Blyth Spartans v Basford United | Saturday, 28 September 2024 - 15:00 | League

Basford continued to apply pressure after half time and substitute Revarnelle James' outside of the foot pass found Joshua Barnes inside the area, but his attempt went wide. Some good link up play from Curry, Nicky Deverdics and Gomes on the hour mark led to a chance for the latter but his attempt was blocked.

As time wore on Spartans committed more bodies forward which led to Basford regularly hitting the home side on the counter and the visitors doubled their lead in the 75th minute when Barnes slid the ball through to Chambers who added his and Basford's second of the afternoon via the inside of Bond's post.

Deverdics' low drilled shot from the edge of the area in the 84th minute was deflected and saved by the foot of Deeney when he looked otherwise beaten. Basford almost added a third, if not for Ryan Donaldson who cut out a pass when he was outnumbered three on one.

Basford broke forward once again in stoppage time this time hitting the bar following a two on one situation but Dameer Rose dragged his shot wide when through on goal.
