Holmes, 21, joined the Spartans over the summer from Graham Fenton’s side, but has had an unlucky run with injuries since his arrival at Croft Park. The club would like to thank Dean for his efforts in a green and white shirt and wish him all the best at North Shields.
With the rather youthful complexion of Spartans starting lineup for the game against Ilkeston tonight it would be safe to assume Tom Wade could have mistaken himself for a school teacher. If that is so the Spartans manager can be happy to see his side make the grade as a Craig Hubbard penalty and a Dan Maguire brace ensured they “learnt the lessons” from throwing away a two goal lead…
It wasn’t a bad night for Spartans striker Dan Maguire.

After seeing his side take part in game that featured some lethal finishing Tom Wade felt it necessary to draw upon the catchphrase of one of England’s most prolific strikers Jimmy Greaves to sum up the seven goal thriller against Skelmersdale United.

If Spartans midfielder Craig Hubbard felt that the last two weeks had been a rollercoaster following the birth of his son Oscar then he experienced something similar during the defeat at Skelmersdale United today. Despite becoming the first Spartan to score a league hat-trick since Paul Brayson at Vauxhall Motors in March 2010 Hubbard ended up on the losing side and was quick to admit his frustration at how his…
