Whitby Town Savaged By Table Toppers in Final Clash

The Blues were well beaten in Cheshire by the NPL Premier champions on Saturday.

Robbie Savage's Macclesfield humbled Whitby 2-0 with a couple of strikes in each half.

Blues player-manager Gary Liddle recalled an experienced trio in defenders Nathan McGinley and Connor Smith, plus midfielder Adam Gell after Easter Monday's 1-0 win over Blyth Spartans. 

Town conceded twice in five minutes just before the half hour.

Their Cheshire hosts then punished them twice more after the interval, with the Seasiders giving a first league appearance to sub keeper Nick Cranston, in place of Shane Bland, late on.

Liddle spoke to Whitby Town TV post-match:

The Seasiders finish in 16th spot in NPL Premier, with just one point separating seven sides from 12th to 18th.
