Alnwick Town set to face Blyth Spartans in preseason friendly

Alnwick Town are set to face Blyth Spartans in a preseason friendly this summer as they step up their preparations for the new league campaign.

The two clubs will meet at St. James’ Park for a midweek fixture on July 15th, with ticket details still to be confirmed.

Spartans announced the clash via their social media channels earlier this week, with the Northern Premier League East side also set to face the likes of Berwick Rangers, Spennymoor Town, and Stockton Town during their preseason schedule, as well as hosting the Better Together Cup at Croft Park.

For their part, Alnwick are yet to announce any other friendlies ahead of their EBAC Northern League Division Two campaign, but will be eager to make a positive start to life under their new management team of Andy Waugh and assistant Scott Oliver.

Following Alnwick’s eighth-placed finish last season, the duo took over from former boss Richard Latimer earlier this month.
