After heading Spartans in front Buchanan headed for the…
Spartans jack of all trades Richie Slaughter was delighted to have played his part in his first win since his return to the club in the 2-1 win over Matlock Town. After returning to Croft Park from Newcastle Benfield, Slaughter was yet to pick up maximum points from an Evo-Stik Northern Premier League fixture and his strong performance at centre back alongside skipper Wayne Buchanan was the foundation of the…
Spartans winger Robbie Dale reflected on a job well done as his side took all three points for the first time since mid November with a 2-1 victory over Matlock Town. Dale was at his best in the win as he tormented the Gladiators back four and it would be Dale’s cross that led to Town defender James Lukic’s own goal that sealed the win for Spartans. It was a…

Everyone at Blyth Spartans was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our legendary centre half Arthur Sowden. Arthur made his Spartans debut on the opening day of the 1950-51 North Eastern League season in a 4-1 win over Gateshead Reserves at Croft Park. He had to wait until an FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round tie in 1956 for his first goal as he got the opener in a…
A defeat is never easy to take but after seeing his side go down 2-3 to league leaders North Ferriby United, Spartans assistant manager Tom Wade insisted there were a number of big pluses to take from the game. Two Ryan McGorrigan goals weren’t enough to get reward from a battling performance from Spartans as they pushed the Villagers all the way coming close to a deserved equaliser in the…
