TEAM NEWS
With the weekend’s tie at Croft Park narrowly ending as a draw between the 2 sides, Blyth will travel down to The Grove for the second time this season, hopefully in hunt of a repeat outcome. Unlike the previous league tie, it’s progression into the next round on offer, not 3 league points. The winner of the tie, whether it be from 90 minutes, extra time or the penalty shoot-out, the victor will host Gresley FC at their home ground.

Tom Wade mentioned in his match report that the missing winger Jarrett Rivers may well return to the squad after being absent on the weekend through injury. He also mentioned a few players picked up knocks so team rotation may be introduced to assist in the club progressing into the next round of the FA Trophy.
