The Seadogs beat Warrington Town, enabling Whitby to leapfrog the Cheshire side with victory over bottom club Grantham Town.

Jacob Hazel's cross turned shot caught out Jim Pollard in the visitors' goal to put the Blues in front, just after the half hour.

Joint-manager Nathan Haslam told Town's Media and Communications Officer, Liam Ryder, he thought it was a convincing, but not perfect, win:

They beat Bamber Bridge 2-0 last week and hit Warrington by the same score, on Saturday.

Jake Day broke the deadlock on 18 minutes after converting a neat through-ball.

Ex-Middlesbrough and Whitby midfielder Lewis Maloney then netted Athletic's second, after the interval.
