Well done Whitley Bay

Yesterday's 1-1 draw at Lowestoft Town saw Northern League side Whitley Bay FC progress to the final of the FA Vase at Wembley Stadium, that will see the Seasiders face Glossop North End (10 May 2009).

The Bay side is managed by ex-Spartan Ian Chandler, who has Steve Cuggy and Glen Martin in his backroom team. The Spartans connection doesn't end there as striker Phill Bell and 'keeper Terry Burke were included in the starting XI on Saturday.

Well done lads!
