Blyth are another £3,000 richer after they battled through to the first round proper of the FA Trophy after a 1-0 win at Marine.

Blyth had the better chances and scored the only goal on the hour when Gareth Williams netted from a Scott Bell corner.

Whitby had a bad day in Merseyside in the UniBond Premier Division, losing 5-1 at Prescot Cables, Craig Veart scoring for the visitors when the score was 2-0 just before half time.

Bishop Auckland's home game in the First Division with Gresley was postponed and they are now five points adrift at the bottom because second bottom Belper won at Ossett Albion.
