Blyth Spartans Women are gearing up for what they anticipate to be the most demanding challenge of their pre-season schedule. This Sunday, the team travels to Craik Park to take on Morpeth Town Women AFC in a 1:00 PM friendly kickoff.
Morpeth, who finished as runners-up in last season’s NFL Women’s Premiership, are widely expected to be front-runners in the upcoming 2026/27 title race. This fixture will serve as a massive test for Blyth against a high-quality side, though the squad is known for never shying away from a challenge.
The Spartans are coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Consett last weekend, which proved to be an excellent workout. With limited player availability, the team dug deep, with everyone on the pitch completing the full 90 minutes. Heading into their fifth friendly, Blyth is well on track with building match fitness and getting up to speed before their competitive season officially kicks off on September 6th.
Craik Park is highly regarded as a great ground for spectators, featuring a well-stocked bar and a viewing balcony. Blyth Spartans are actively encouraging their fans to make the trip to Morpeth to get behind the team this weekend.
