Beckett has scored 15 goals since joining Gainsborough in November

Luke Beckett scored three minutes into the second half to earn Gainsborough Trinity a 1-1 draw at Blyth Spartans in the Blue Square North on Saturday.

Beckett turned home Lewis McMahon's pass to cancel out Shaun Reay's 23rd-minute opener for the home side.

Trinity had James Cullingworth sent off for a second booking after 80 minutes.

Manager Steve Charles told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "It was a committed performance but again we caused our own problems, it's the same old story."

The draw extended the Blues' run without a victory to 11 games.

Charles added: "It was never going to be easy here and they're fighting for survival as well so it'as a decent point but it would have been nice to have had three.

"I am under pressure and we have under-performed this season. I've not enjoyed it much recently because I like to win and we haven't done that for a while, but I'm committed to the club and will strive to continue to improve it."
