Blyth Spartans 4 Radcliffe Borough 2 - Northern Premier League, Division One
Blyth is a town in southeast Northumberland. It lies on the coast, to the south of the River Blyth and is approximately 13 miles northeast of Newcastle upon Tyne. The port of Blyth dates from the 12th century, but the development of the modern town only began in the first quarter of the 18th century. The main industries which helped the town prosper were coal mining and shipbuilding, with the salt trade, fishing and the railways also playing an important role. These industries have largely vanished, but the port still thrives, shipping paper and pulp from Scandinavia for the newspaper industries. The town was seriously affected when its principal industries went into decline, and it has undergone much regeneration since the early 1990s.
