It is a quick turnaround for the Spartans as they welcome Southport to Croft Park on Thursday evening.
Blyth were in action on Tuesday and were disappointing as they lost 1-0 to AFC Telford United. The visitors have virtually secured their status in the Vanarama National League North with the points.
In a game of few chances, it was the Bucks who took theirs. A throw into the box found Marcus Dinanga and the forward was able to turn before rolling an effort into the far corner of the net.
