Hucknall Town 0-3 Blyth Spartans
Probably not a game to whet the appetite of any neutral but for us it came with a very satisfactory outcome. From kick off you could see why both teams had struggled this season. Looked worrying for us as Hucknall seemed more likely to score hitting the woodwork twice.
But things swung in our favour when Ian Robinson took out Andrew Leeson in a 50:50 challenge and was promptly sent off. Deep into first half injury time Robbie Dale played the ball across the face of the goal and Andrew Thompson fired it into the empty nets.

After about an hour Dale (or Thompson - not entirely sure) was clean through on goal but was brought down by Wilson who was sent off. The resultant free kick on the edge of the box was blocked but fell for Thompson who fired through a packed penalty area and past the keeper to make it 2-0.
Hucknall still offered something upfront and a scramble in the 6 yard area kept them out. As the game reached the closing stages the two man advantage showed as we knocked the ball about well in the final third of the pitch and Adrian Webster added the third with a classy finish after good work by Dale.
