Resurgent Blues' Back To Back Victories

Whitby Town notched their second win in three days as promotion-chasing Hednesford Towb were put to the sword.

Gary Liddle's men moved into the top half of the table thanks to superb strikes from Donald Chimalilo and Sam Collins.

Collins fired wide after Layton Watts' lay off early on.

Chimalilo came close after more good work from Watts.

Shane Bland, who moved ahead of fellow goalkeeper Dave Campbell, as the club's second-leading appearance maker, with 480 games under his belt made a superb save moments before Chimalilo's stunner. Watts was against the architect dummying before setting up Chimalilo to open his body and slammed home, ten minutes before half-time.

Bland blocked brilliantly again with Watts and Jake Charles then combining at the other end for Charles to fire off target.

Watts rattled the crossbar early in the second half with Adam Gell missing the rebound.

Chimalilo's run was then blocked but Collins followed up to power home on 68 minutes.

Hednesford then pulled one back, two minutes later.

However, a solid rearguard action saw Whitby hold out and move up to 11th spot.
