TEAM NEWS

After having last Saturdays game at Nantwich postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, football has made its way back to Croft Park once again this Saturday with the opponents being 21st placed Witton Albion. The visitors are no team to just pass off lightly as they finished in a play off position last season but poor performances and results have seen them down the bottom section of the table for a while now. The previous fixture between the clubs saw a 9 men Blyth leave 1-0 winners in a action packed match down at their place.

After the news during midweek of Danny Parker, Lewis Horner and Matthew Wade signing contracts with Blyth Spartans, Tom Wade will be hoping he has a full selection to pick from for this fixture. Paul Robinson will be available once again after his suspension. The only monitoring will be on centre back Arjun Purewal, who has been nursing an injury on the bench for the last few games. A win for Blyth could possibly push us up to 6th position, with other results going our way.
