TEAM NEWS
First home game of the season could see a couple of players who missed the match at Marine. Hubbard missed out with the expectation of a new addition; Wearmouth and Buddle were also missing due to waiting for FA clearance and a trial at Conference side Luton Town respectively.
Manager Tom Wade will be hoping for a similar performance as the Marine match where Blyth only missed out on a victory with a last minute penalty. Joe Kendrick gave Spartans the lead from the spot in the first half after good play by Holmes in the box. Trafford won their first match on Saturday with a 2-1 home win over Matlock Town.
