NORTHERN LEAGUE

- With Mark Carruthers

GAVIN Fell reflected on the remarkable journey Blyth Town have made in recent years after taking their biggest step yet with a dramatic play-off final win at Newcastle Blue Star.

Just seven years have passed since the Gateway Park club were sat in the third tier of the Northern Alliance - but Friday night's penalty shoot-out victory means they will now compete in the Northern Premier League for the first time in their history.

In front of a crowd of over 2,100, Fell's men had to show a steely reserve at the KD Stadium after a goal from former Newcastle United striker Michael Ndiweni saw their hosts place one foot in the fourth tier of the non-league game.
