Whitby Town Face League Leaders in Cheshire Challenge

The Blues go to NPL Premier leaders Warrington Rylands on Saturday.

Town have drawn their last two, against Lancaster City and Guiseley.

Manager Gary Liddle is hoping to welcome back central-defender Frankie Whelan, who has completed his suspension for a controversial red card against Bamber Bridge.

Goalkeeper Shane Bland is set to become the club's leading appearance-maker in what would be his 485th outing for the Blues:

" It's going to be, no doubt, one of my biggest achievements in life and I'm just so proud.

"It's nice to get recognised, but on this journey, it's a journey. What I've done with so many people, not just me, and a lot of people have helped me on this journey.

"You know, I can't thank them enough. 

"We take our run of six games undefeated in seven, we're on a great run at the moment, but we know that Saturday coming, it's going to be a good bit of a big test."

You can hear more from Bland, including a personal congratulations from ex-King of the Jungle and former Spurs and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp, plus comments from Gary Liddle and Alex Nelson on this week's Codcast.

Kick-off is 3.03pm, there's full commentary of Saturday's game on This Is The Coast Extra from just before.
