A Spartans side looking confident of beating the drop had the better of the first half with Town on top after the break, but neither could find the finish. Lucas Taylor's effort was deflected wide when he got on the end of Charlie Wood's delivery to the far post on 15 mins, before danger man Jack Foalle raced clear on the half-hour mark but was denied by Harry Flatters.
The Miners were at least improved on Monday's disjointed display against Pontefract Collieries, with the return of Jamie Barkway allowing Harry Colville to move back to a more familiar fullback position. His cross on 31 mins found Owen Marshall who's curling effort was saved by Blyth keeper Callum Dobson. Another Town chance moments later came to Marshall again; his half volley just wide when set up by Max Tweddle. Cousin Charlie was then in with a chance after a one-two with Tweddle, Dobson keeping out his low shot at the near post.
Three minutes before the break Paul Van Zandvliet put a low strike just wide for the hosts after The Miners gave away possession.
