The questionably named Blyth Spartans were anything but warriors as they crashed to an anti-climatic 3-2 loss yesterday. A 12 minute spell from Birmingham in the second half was enough to send the non-league club out of the FA Cup.
Their manager was obviously disappointed but had the usual kind words to say after the game.
“It`s a proud day for Blyth as a club and a town and days like today just underline to me how much of a pleasure it is being manager of such a great club.
“Obviously we`re disappointed but if someone had said before the game we were going to lose 3-2 and have a chance in the final minute we might have taken it.
“I thought we deserved to win it but they had 12 minutes of total dominance and that made the difference in the end.”
Blyth gave a good account of themselves as they have done in previous rounds. But it wasn’t enough when Birmingham went through the gears as you would expect.
Second half goals from Lee Novak, and two from Wes Thomas saw Birmingham into Monday’s draw.
