Blues Battle Blyth in Boxing Day Bonanza

Whitby Town play Blyth Spartans in a competitive fixture for the first time in over seven years, on Boxing Day.

The Blues lost 5-1 at Croft Park on Easter Monday 2017 in NPL Premier and following Blyth's relegation from National North, the sides lock horns again to resume their rivalry.

They were regular opponents throughout the 20th century, mostly in the Northern League.

Both sides were promoted in the 1990s and continued to meet regularly beyond 2000.

Town have had a 12-day break since their 0-0 draw with Ilkeston, last time out:

Spartans lost 3-1 at nearby Hebburn in their last encounter, on Saturday.

Kick-off is 3.00pm with full commentary on This Is The Coast Extra from just before.
