Whitby Town's barren run continued with defeat on Saturday.

Not for the first time this season, the Blues fell behind inside the first minute after a defensive error.

However, they responded within three minutes as Stephen Walker converted from the penalty spot for his seventh goal of the season.

But visitors Ashton United regained their lead just before the hour and Town had no answer.

Blues boss Nathan Haslam said it was "men against boys":

Town are back in action, away at Hebburn Town on Tuesday night in NPL Premier.

Kick-off is 7.45pm with full commentary on This Is The Coast Extra from just before.
