If at first you don’t succeed then try, try, try, try, try and try again. That is a rather extended motto for Blyth Spartans captain Robbie Dale as he finally got his hands on the Northumberland Senior Cup at the sixth time of asking. The long-serving winger lifted the trophy after his side’s 2-0 win over EBAC Northern League outfit Morpeth Town and admitted that after two comprehensive final defeats,…
Blyth boss Tom Wade was left dejected after seeing his side just miss out on a playoff spot losing 2-1 at home to Marine on Saturday. “We are all very down, to be honest,” he said. “We are struggling squad-wise.

“Come down and get behind us”. That was the call of Blyth Spartans keeper Nick Thomson ahead of his side’s crucial final day showdown with relegation threatened Marine.
