Blues Fifth After New Year Victory

Whitby Town returned to the NPL Premier's top five after a superb second-half display on New Year's Day.

Substitute Stephen Walker netted his first Blues goal to delight most of the 1,028 crowd.

Whitby are next in action on Saturday away at promotion rivals Worksop Town.
