TEAM NEWS
After the midweek victory over Ilkeston, Spartans welcome the return on last weekend's opponents in the form of Skelmersdale United, in the FA Trophy. Both teams played on Tuesday night and both picked up three points but on Saturday, it wont be points the teams are battling for.
With Robbie Dale not featuring against the Robins on Tuesday night, Wade will be hoping he can recall the winger, who hasn't started for the past 2 fixtures. On form striker Dan Maguire will be hoping he can continue he run by bagging one or if not more vital goals to help push Blyth towards the run to Wembley for the final. Craig Hubbard will also be hoping to continue his goal-scoring form, after notching a hat-trick in the reverse fixture last Saturday in Skelmersdale.
