Whitby Town Win Lifts Them Off The Bottom Of The League

The Blues secured a 1-0 away at Ashton United last night, their 7th point in their last 3 away games.

Whitby Town have very much turned the corner after a disastrous start to the season, lifting themselves off the bottom of the Northern Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 win at Ashton United last night.

The Blues took the lead with a long-range stunner from Priestley Grifiths, spotting the Ashton keeper off his line and scoring from midway inside the home side's half.

Aaron Haswell nearly made it two in the 2nd half but hit the post and the re-bound was cleared.

Shane Bland made some good saves to keep a clean sheet and Jake Day had the ball in the bet but it was judged to be offside.

Heare are the thoughts of Whitby boss Nathan Haslam:

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
