The NPL Group on Facebook are trying to track down a South American fan who travelled half way round the world to meet his heroes at the EVO-STIK Northern Premier League's table-toppers.

With Cumbria being battered by Storm Frank, EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Blyth Spartans have revealed how they helped to bring some Christmas cheer to the youngest victims of the flooded county.

When the sailors and marines on HMS Bulwark celebrate Christmas next weekend a framed Blyth Spartans shirt will be adorning the walls of their mess on one of the Royal Navy's assault ships.

EVO-STIK Northern Premier League leaders Blyth Spartans are taking no chances with their last line of defence over the second half of the season.

Blyth Spartans boss Tom Wade could only watching this weekend's FA Cup action from the sidelines but he has a brand new trophy to remind him of his own side's exploits last season in reaching the third round.
