Whitby Town Hold Play Off Rivals In Derby Clash

Saturday, 13 December 2025 18:22

The Blues went to Stockton Town on Saturday in their final match before Christmas.

While a draw at the County Durham side is a good result on paper, Gary Liddle's men arguably created the better chances but missed them.

After 15 minutes, Layton Watts came close with an effort from distance for Whitby.

At the other end, Alex Nelson executed a superb saving tackle to keep the scores level.

The visitors should have led late in the half as Sam Collins' teasing left-wing cross fell between Michael Woods and Watts when both were ideally placed at the back post.

Woods came close again with a deflected shot early in the second half.

His and Whitby's best chance saw the ex-Scarborough midfielder hook high over the bar when well set to break the deadlock.

Shane Bland saved well for Whitby to ensure a point in a 0-0 stalemate.
