Newcastle Blue Star, who were relegated from the Albany Northern League Division One at the end of last season, have appointed Warren Teasdale and Dean Gibb as their new management team, writes Ray Simpson.
The pair have been part of the championship winning Bedlington team over the last few seasons, and were part of the Bedlington squad which lost in the final of the Vase three seasons ago. Both have plenty of Northern League experience, while Gibb also played for Hartlepool in the Football League.
Meanwhile, Spennymoor United skipper Jason Ainsley scooped almost all of the awards at the club's presentation night on Friday night, winning the Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year and Supporters' Player of the Year awards. Leigh Grant won the Sportsman of the Year award.
