Whitby Up To 2nd After Win At Ilkeston

Whitby have won all three of their away games in the Northern Premier League and are the 3rd highest scorers in the division.

The Blues won 4-2 away at Ilkeston and were 3-0 up at half time.

Lewis Hawkins opened the scoring just 8 minutes into the game.

The visitors then schocked the home side with 2 quick goals just before half time through Gell and Greaves on 44 and 45 minutes respectively.

Erratt-Thompson restored some pride for the home side making it 3-1 in the 2nd half before Graves bagged his 2nd to restore Whitby's 3-goal cushion.

Wilder scored Ikleston's 2nd in the 90th minute but the result was never in danger.

Whitby have won 4 and lost 2 in their opening 6 league games and sit 2nd in the Northern Premier League 6 points behind runaway leaders Radcliffe.

Here are the thoughts of BLues boss Nathan Haslam after the game:
