In a heated affair at Sam Smith’s Park Blyth Spartans progressed through to the final of the Northumberland FA Senior Cup with goals from Neal Hooks and Stephen Turnbull. This was always going to be a competitive fixture with former Blyth manager Paul Baker in charge of a Benfield side which also included ex Spartans players; Andrew Grainger and Kenny Boyle.
