CHRIS McCABE – MARCH 2009 The month of March saw the Spartans play in an incredible 9 games, including 8 in the league (in which they were only beaten once) which has seen them slowly drag themselves away from the bottom of the Blue Square North. Whilst there is still a great deal of work to be done until we are mathematically safe, this work load will be increased by…

The person who typified the restored fight and belief in Spartans ranks was returning midfielder Chris McCabe who had…

ADRIAN WEBSTER – JANUARY 2009 One of Harry’s best bits of business since the turn of the new year has been the re-signing of Kiwi “Schemer” Adie Webster from his stint in Finnish Football. His second spell at the club saw him turn the Fleetwood game where his clever, incisive play set Blyth on their way to a comfortable win. Well done (and welcome back) Adie!
