Test cricketer Adam Lyth might be invited back to the Towbar Express Stadium as his mascot forfeit preceded a great win for a depleted Blues side.
Town continued their return to form despite four enforced changes from last week's defeat to Bamber Bridge.
Rushall also lost their last game and found it hard going after their four hour hike to North Yorkshire. Jake Charles twice came close before deservedly breaking the deadlock on 15 minutes. The former Ashton frontman beat Daniel Jezeph after switching the ball from his right foot and finishing superbly.

It was two with ten minutes left of the first half. This time Charles turned provider, playing in Layton Watts who crossed low for the experienced Michael Woods to turn home. Woods, skipper in the absence of the injured Lewis Hawkins, had the bizarre pre-match spectacle of holding hands with Whitby-born Yorkshire and England cricketer Adam Lyth, whose side came bottom of a Fantasy Football League, last season, so was made the adult mascot as a forfeit.
Kian Ryley pulled one back for the Pics, 11 minutes into the second half. But when Liam McAlinden was sent off for a horror challenge on Watts, Connor Smith made sure with a last minute third as Whitby held on.
