Juniors | Spartans Juniors Cup Double in Europe and Represent Northumberland In The National 2017 Finals

Blyth Spartans Juniors U16's this summer travelled to Europe to compete in two separate international football tournaments.

The first was at SV Nevelo in Oisterwijk, Holland where Blyth played against some formidable foreign opposition from the likes of Holland, France, Belgium, Germany, Ireland and Scotland.

After winning an impressive seven games in a row and being held to one 0-0 draw, Blyth took home the winner's trophy in impressive fashion without conceding a single goal.

Blyth's good fortune continued the following day when Blyth attended their second tournament held at RSKV Sporting Club in Oisterwijk, Holland. Once again Blyth excelled against a number of talented Dutch teams and eventually took the second days honours after winning all their games without conceding any goals to complete the European back to back double.

The tournament run however was not over and on their return to England, Blyth were invited to play in the UK national finals, an invitation only tournament held in Nottingham to play against the best league and cup winning teams from across the country. Unfortunately it was not to be a cup treble for Blyth who were pipped at the post just before the 1/4 finals to miss out on qualifying for the last 16.
