Blue Square North side Blyth earned an FA Cup replay against League Two's Bournemouth after holding them to a draw in their second-round match.

Blyth had goalkeeper Marc Bell to thank for ensuring they are in the hat for the third round draw after he made two superb saves from Lee Bradbury.

Bell dived full length to tip a curling Bradbury shot around the post.

And the 26-year-old roofer showed excellent reflexes to beat away Bradbury's close-range header late on.
