Whitby went to last season's play-off semi-finalists Stockton Town and pulled off a 0-0 draw on Saturday.
It was the last pre-season outing for Gary Liddle's men ahead of the trip to Workington next week in the NPL Premier.
Stockton did the double over the Blues last season and with the visitors arriving with eight players missing, they could've been forgiven for fearing the worst.
Connor Smith and Adam Gell were on holiday with midfielders Layton Watts and Jarret Rivers, centre-halves Alex Nelson and Frankie Whelan and striker Jake Charles all rested. Young defender Callum Wilson pulled up in the warm-up.
Goalkeeper Shane Bland returned to the side and was a busy man, with the hosts mainly on top.
Player-boss Liddle again had to play himself but said he was happy with pre-season and the squad he's building:
