MORPETH TOWN boss Craig Lynch says the Highwaymen’s upcoming Northumberland FA Senior Cup Final against Blyth Spartans will be a great occasion.

“The Senior Cup is something we’ve got to look forward to and try and get to. I’m delighted that we’re going to have a showpiece at St James’s Park and I can’t wait,” he said.

“The city is buzzing at the minute, the stadium is fantastic, we’re obviously not going to get 52,000 but hopefully we can get a good couple of thousand there. It’s a good Cup, it’s the County Cup and it’s played at one of the best stadiums in the country, if not the world.”
