Whitby Town Hunt Hat-Trick at Towbar Express Stadium

The Blues come into the game on the back of successive victories for just the second time this season.

They saw off Ashton United last weekend then beat promotion contenders Hednesford Town 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Donald Chimalilo opened the scoring and set up the second goal.

He picked up the man of the match award and told Whitby Town TV's Liam Ryder the players are feeling confident:

 "Obviously when you get a few wins on the bounce, everybody like even after the game, music's on everybody's buzzing. So I think that will take us into the games and hopefully we'll just keep the momentum going and get as many wins as you can. Because the way you look at the league now, like a new one, if you win two games, you're in the play-offs.

"So hopefully end the season with that."

Ninth-placed Town are just two points off the top 3 in NPL Premier, though visitors Bamber Bridge are in decent nick themselves and won 2-1 on their last visit to the Turnbull Ground, on the opening day of last season. They're just two points behind the Blues with two games in hand.

You can hear more from Chimalilo, plus defender Sam Collins and player-boss Gary Liddle on this week's Codcast.

If you really can't make it, there's full commentary of the Bamber Bridge game on This Is The Coast Extra from 3pm.
