BLYTH TOWN CROWNED CHAMPIONS

Blyth Town today secured the Division Two title following today’s win against Horden CW.

League chairman Glenn Youngman said:

““Congratulations to Blyth Town – champions of Division Two.

“Their winning margin is testament to the quality that they have shown from the very start of the campaign.

“They have won 94 points so far, racking up 31 wins along the way, including 16 at home.

“We will liaise with the club to organise the formal presentation of the trophy.”

Manager Michael Connor said:

“It’s a tremendous achievement by the players who have shown their quality and determination throughout the season.

“I’m very proud of what we as a club have achieved. I had a six year plan to get out of the Northern Alliance second division and reach the Northern League first division.  We’ve done it in eight because of the two seasons that were lost to covid.

“The success isn’t just down to the players. We couldn’t have achieved it without the rest of the coaching staff, especially my assistant manager Gavin Fell, the ground staff and all the volunteers who put in so much hard work behind the scenes.

“We’ll enjoy the moment and then start planning for next season!”
