TEAM NEWS
Michael Richardson scored a winning goal against this weekend’s opponents only three weeks ago in the reverse fixture. This time Rushall Olympic will be making the journey to the North East coast. Blyth currently are on good form, with only the one defeat in twelve games, that being the home tie against title chasing Ilkeston. We will be looking to add Rushall to the list of nine league sides to fail to take any points from Croft Park this season. A win for the Spartans on Saturday could see us leapfrog Barwell to eighth. Barwell host Nantwich Town.
Dan Maguire scored an equaliser just before half time on Tuesday’s trip to Nantwich Town.The game ended 1-1, extending Blyth’s excellent away form to 11 points out of 15 in the past five ties. Dan’s goal in midweek also pushed him on to the 20 goals in all competitions, alongside winger Robbie Dale, who was missing from the midweek fixture. The two will pair up again on the weekend, hoping to add to their already impressive tally. Last time Rushall came up to Croft Park, it was only for a late Paul Robinson screamer to deny them taking a point.

Richard Sneekes – Ex Ajax, Bolton, West Brom and Hull City player. Has 2 Netherlands Under 21’s caps – been in charge of Rushall since the start of the current season.
