Blyth Town FC VS Prudhoe YC

Blyth Town open up their Newcastle Flooring NFA Senior Cup campaign by welcoming struggling Northern League Division 2 side Prudhoe YC to Gateway Park.

Blyth return to Newcastle Flooring NFA Senior cup action following last seasons penalty defeat at the hands of Heaton Stannington, in the quarter finals of the competition.

Blyth have a very strong record in the NFA Senior Cup most notably when Blyth reached the final in the 24/25 season but unfortunately suffered defeat to Newcastle U21 in their last game in the competition before pulling out in the two season following.

The most prestigious competition in Northumberland football has also produced more magic moments for Town, most recently being the victory over local rivals Blyth Spartans, the first in a competitive game.

The Opposition – Prudhoe YC

The visitors to Gateway Park arrive in poor form as they currently sit at the foot of the Division 2 table, however as with all cup competitions, anything can happen in the cup

Dean Walker’s side head to Gateway Park for only their fourth instalment of the NFA Senior Cup following their promotion into the Northern League (lowest level of clubs in NFA Senior Cup) in 2023/24.
