BBC Look North next week

Spartans fans may like to watch BBC Look North this Tuesday (6.30pm) when there will be a feature on Munitionettes' football during the First World War.

Blyth Spartans Ladies side were particularly successful. Their star striker, Bella Reay, regularly stole the headlines with her goal scoring exploits.

The BBC filmed at Croft Park a couple of weeks ago and interviewed Bella's granddaughter Yvonne Crawford who still lives in the town.

Spartans' Match day Programme Features Editor Rory Mitchinson will be conducting an in depth interview with Yvonne for publication in the future. She has a fascinating story to tell about Bella and the extraordinary history of Munitionettes' football.
