FA Cup Player of the Round Result
As reported on here last week, Blyth Spartans’ own Michael Tait was in running for the E.ON sponsored FA Cup Player of the Round for his hattrick exploits against Ossett Albion. Sadly Michael didn’t win, the honour going to Northwich Victoria’s Mark Danks. Unlucky Michael, you’ll just have to score a hattrick in the next round and try again!

Blyth Spartans 2 Alfreton Town 0 (Match Reaction)
It has been said many times, and by numerous observers, that Blyth Spartans’ inscrutable midfielder/forward Robbie Dale blows hot and cold. On a day when gales buffeted the Spartans’ Croft Park Dale blew hot. In fact he blew as hot as a Sahara storm.
