TEAM NEWS

Three games to go and Blyth can look forward to pushing Darlington all the way to the league title or having a pop at promotion through the play offs. Either or, it's been a record breaking season for Blyth after archiving 30 league game wins; the current record. We travel for one last time this weekend to Matlock Town in Derbyshire. Having played the reverse fixture not even a month ago, ending as a 1-0 home win for Blyth. The Spartans will be looking to add to a great season, with a possible 'double' on the cards for Tom Wade and the players.

Dan Maguire will once again be available for selection, after serving his three game ban, which he received for a straight red card in the home tie against Matlock Town in March. Current, and once again short-listed Evo- Stik Player of the Season Robbie Dale missed the tie against Skelmersdale United on Saturday due to a knock, he is in contention to make a return. Centre back Ryan Hutchinson continues to be side lined with his broken wrist although he might be available for the play offs.
