Northumberland Senior Cup final opponents confirmed
Newcastle United Under-23s will face National League North outfit Blyth Spartans in the Northumberland Senior Cup final.
The young Magpies booked their spot in the final, which will be staged at St. James' Park, after defeating North Shields 4-2 on penalties in the semi-final following a 1-1 draw at the Daren Persson Stadium.
Their reward is a tie against the Spartans, who compete in the sixth tier of English football, after the Green Army beat Bedlington Terriers 1-0 in the last four.
The two sides last met each other during a pre-season friendly in August as Blyth claimed a 3-0 win at Croft Park in front of 1,148 spectators.
Newcastle have won the trophy a record 38 times, with their most recent cup triumph coming back in 2018 after United's youngsters claimed a 3-1 victory against Morpeth Town at St. James' Park.
A date and kick-off time for the cup final will be announced in due course.
