Whitby Town Humbled in South Yorkshire

The Blues suffered their worst league defeat of the season after a horror show in Stocksbridge.

Gary Liddle's men looked rusty after a week and a half without football.

Whitby's player-boss refused to mince his words after speaking to Whitby Town TV post-match:

The Blues fell behind inside 16 minutes and suffered further disappointment midway through the first half.

Poor marking from crosses were a real feature and only their hosts' poor finishing kept the scoreline respectable.

Despite a triple change at half-time, as Harley Dawson, Aaron Haswell and Jake Charles made way for Adam Gell, Sam Collins and Matty Tymon, the home side soon doubled their lead.

Tymon netted a consolation goal, three minutes from time, but it finished 4-1.

The only silver lining for the Blues is they are back in action, on Tuesday, at home to Prescot Cables as they try to bounce back quickly.

Kick-off is 7.45pm.
