TEAM NEWS
With Joe Kendrick playing during the midweek training game against Seaton Delaval, Wade will be hoping to call back to his Captain in what is going to be another tough test for Blyth as they travel to 3rd positioned Skelmersdale United. Hooks and Hubbard should be available after their suspensions so the centre midfield places are up for grabs, a decision which Tom will need to select wisely.
Blyth have only lost the one away game this season, with it being to highly placed Chorley, with this trip to another highly placed and respectful team in Skelmersdale - a solid and good performance will be required. Also to note that a minutes applause for Scott Bell will be held at the fixture, a kind gesture offered by the Merseyside club.
