Whitby Town are back in the NPL Premier play-offs, with a bit of help from Scarborough Athletic.
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.
A Thomas Unwin own goal doubled their advantage and Hazel's second, moments later, put the result beyond doubt.
Joint-manager Nathan Haslam told Town's Media and Communications Officer, Liam Ryder, he thought it was a convincing, but not perfect, win:
The Seasiders go into the festive period in fifth spot, ahead of a juicy contest with fourth-placed South Shields, at the Towbar Express Stadium, on the 27th of December.
Scarborough have done their own promotion hopes no harm at all with a second straight win away at a top-six side.
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.
Boro manager Jono Greening told Charlie Hopper & Scarborough Athletic TV he was happy with a strong defensive display:
