GAINSBORO’ TR 5 BLYTH SP’TANS 1
By Rob Hughes

Five-star Gainsborough Trinity put basement boys Blyth Spartans to the sword, with four goals coming in 22 first-half minutes to take the game away from the struggling visitors in the Northern Premier Division.
Eight minutes in, Fraser Preston curled home a sublime left-footed free-kick after Javelle Clarke had been upended.
Preston doubled his, and Trinity’s, tally when he expertly found the back of the net, via Alex Walpole’s left-hand upright.
The spin on the ball took it over the line.
