What We're Saying

On his appointment, Michael Connor said:

After 16 years at Blyth Town, I am extremely proud to have the opportunity, as a local lad, to manage Blyth Spartans. I grew up as a Spartans fan and have so many memories of standing on the terraces for the famous cup runs; Spartans are the main reason I fell in love with football. I know this is going to be a challenge, but I am excited about the whole community relaunch of the club. There's a real buzz about the place, and together we can make this club great again.

Opposition

The Blues currently sit in 18th in the league standings with 14 points, having won three games and drawn five.

In their last outing, Rylands won 3-0 at home to Basford United as Ben Hardcastle, Harrison Hooper and Ntumba Massanka all scored for Neil Reynolds' side. This win made it three consecutive home wins in a row for the Blues.

What They're Saying

After their 3-0 win over Basford, Neil Reynolds said:

I thought we were outstanding from start to finish. I thought they came here with a game plan and we blew that straight out of the water within the first 15 minutes, to go in with that 2-0 lead. It was great on all accounts.

Last Time We Met

This will be the first recorded match between the sides.
