TEAM NEWS

With 3 games gone, Blyth currently find ourselves in 10th and our visitors today and still to pick up any points. But that doesn't mean they will be taken lightly, as last seasons fixture will live long in the memory of both sets of supporters, for either a good or bad reason. Blyth will be hoping that they can continue their home fixture run with another win today to keep up with the leaders of the pack of the Evo Stik Premier Division.

Dan Hawkins started Saturdays game at Matlock and contributed with his first goal for the club, he will be hoping he has done enough to get into the starting 11 against Whitby Town. If selected, Robbie Dale will make his 400th appearance for the club, a mighty loyal footballer.
