MAN OF THE MATCH

Matt Hunter

The young goalkeeper made an impressive debut as he grew in confidence after saving a penalty on 11 minutes. The score-line would have been far greater if it wasn't for some excellent saves.

He was called in to action more than he should have been as Blyth were overran in midfield and therefore left exposed at the back. But he stood up to the task well and deserves the plaudits after this fine display.
