Our Reserves get a 1-1 draw at Chester-le-Street in a fitness friendly. Jordan Mellish (MOM, 7.0) scored the equalizer at 60'. Notable bad outings for Joe Henderson and Jonson Clarke-Harris, both 5.8.

Blyth (6-10-21, 23rd) at Welling (14-3-8, 15th)

The string, play it out we will. We're 13:2 dogs on the road, they're 2:5 faves.

GK: Hartley
D: Kulsten, Seery, Sawyer, Sinclair
MF: Brown, Morrison, Groves, Vipond, O'Connor
ST: Mole
Bench: (Rowbotham, White, Cofie, Wallace, McDonald)

Halftime: Blyth 2 - Welling 0
Mole dribbles inside, spots Groves in the middle of the area .. GOAL at 4:20
Mole takes a long pass from Sawyer downfield, spots O'Connor for a lob finish at 42'

We're not really doing anything well, except for Mole having one of those rare good vision days. Outshot 4-3, only 45% poss, only 64% passing ... and a two goal lead, go figure.

Fulltime: Blyth 2 - Welling 2

McBean scores for Welling at 64:30, perfectly placed low cross
Vipond spots Brown free, buries it ... but he's offside at 75'
McBean hits the post but was offside at 76'
Shot hits the post, rebound hits Sawyer for an own goal to tie at 81:10
3 mins extra time

Our season in a nutshell, even when things go well they go wrong.

Hartley 5.9
Kulsten 6.1, Seery 6.9, Sawyer 6.9, Sinclair 6.3
Brown 6.8, Morrison 6.8, Groves 7.4 & 1 goal,
Vipond 6.8, O'Connor (MOM) 8.3 & 1 goal
Mole 8.2 & 2 assists
Subs: Rowbotham (69' for Kulsten) 6.7, Wallace (69' for Groves) 6.5, Cofie (82' for O'Connor) N/A

Nice effort, lousy luck. A fairly meaningless point but better than none I suppose.
