Houghton travel north to face Blyth in this Durham and Northumberland division three clash. The fixture was always going to be hard with Blyth coming down from division two last season by default and Houghton looking to gain promotion. The recent run of results has added extra spice to this fixture. Houghton currently sitting in second place, can consolidate their position whilst closing the gap on table topping South Shields. On the other hand a Blyth victory would see the Northumberland side leapfrog both Seaton Carew and the diary lane club.
