GATESHEAD'S Blue Square Premier survival hopes have taken a hammer blow – with captain Kris Gate likely to be out for the rest of the season.

Gateshead captain and inspirational midfielder Kris Gate could be out for the rest of the season following a scan on his thigh injury.

Gateshead picked up a point in their battle for Blue Square Premier survival - but were disappointed it wasn't all three in Cambridgeshire.

Hosts Histon hadn't scored for three games and, while their front pair were lively, they were unable to prevent the barren spell in front of goal from reaching four games.

GATESHEAD were refereed in a league game by a woman for only the second time in their history – but lady luck did not smile on the Conference Premier strugglers in Cambridgeshire.

After Wendy Toms had blazed a trail almost a decade ago in a game at Leek Town, Leicestershire whistle blower Amy Fearn took charge for the goalless stalemate at Histon.

Stevenage Borough returned to the top of the Blue Square Premier table after a 2-0 win against Crawley Town at Broadhall Way on Saturday.

Gateshead's bid to record consecutive Blue Square Premier wins for the first time this season failed when they narrowly lost their six-pointer at Tamworth.

It was a disappointing display from the Tynesiders who forced 11 corners, the majority in the opening 25 minutes, but failed to register a shot on target.

Gateshead's long wait to record consecutive league wins continues after they came unstuck at the Lamb ground last night.

Single goal winners in their previous game against Altrincham Gateshead were on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat in the midlands.

Following the success of February's fabulous 2 for 1 offer.

Our Partners Gateshead College have extended the 2 for 1 offer to include Mothers Day on Sunday March 14th and Easter Sunday on Sunday 4th April.

This is an offer to good to miss. Why not treat your loved ones to a scrumptious meal at the Baltic Campus on Gateshead Quays.

GATESHEAD head for Tamworth tonight urged to find the consistency to match their recent good fortune.

The Tynesiders’ survival battle has been boosted by Chester City’s expulsion from the Blue Square Premier and the return of the six points they lost to the Cestrians earlier in the season.

Places are now available for our popular Annual Golf Challenge to be held at Ravensworth Golf Club on Friday 28th May.

It took something special to prevent this attritional game from heading for only the second goalless draw of the season at the International Stadium - and it arrived in spectacular fashion 14 minutes from time.

Craig Baxter had few options when he picked up a ball 35 yards out on the right but unleashed a right foot thunderbolt that flew into the roof of the net beating Robins keeper Stuart Coburn at his near post.

Date: 25/02/2010

A pitch inspection will be held tomorrow morning ahead of Saturday's match against Forest Green Rovers.

CRAIG BAXTER struck the "best goal" of his career to earn Gateshead a priceless victory over Altrincham - then claimed "anyone could have scored it as long as we won".

The 23-year-old former Newcastle United youth teamer - the Tynesiders' only ever-present during last season's promotion from Blue Square North - had previously scored just seven times in 190 appearances for the club.

Oxford United moved six points clear at the top of the Blue Square Premier table on Tuesday night as a James Constable double secured a 2-0 win over ten-man AFC Wimbledon at the Kassam Stadium.

The Blue Square Premier home game against Stevenage Borough on Saturday 20th March has had to be rearranged due to Boro playing in the semi-final of the FA Trophy that day.

The game has been rescheduled for Tuesday 20th April giving Gateshead just one home game in March, against Wrexham on the 23rd, and none on a Saturday, with Ian Bogie's side facing five away games.

WING man Peter Winn's form can help Gateshead's Conference Premier survival bid get back off the ground against Altrincham tonight – but not if he flies solo again.

Having scored the winner against Barrow last Tuesday, on-loan Winn was blameless in the dismal home defeat by Ebbsfleet which plunged the Tynesiders back into the heart of the relegation mix on Saturday.
