Whitby Town Thumped In First Lee Home Defeat

Whitby Town were hammered 5-0 in a Hallowe'en Horror Show.

It was a first home defeat under Graeme Lee.

The Blues wore their gothic away kit with their famous Abbey complete with vampire bats but it was the home of Dracula that were bitten in a brutal Halloween hammering.

Visitors Stockton Town led inside 12 minutes, just seconds after home skipper Stu Rose saw an effort cleared off the away goal-line. The away side curling spectacularly over Henry Popple in the Whitby goal, from the edge of the box.

Popple had returned to the club after a short spell on loan last season.

It was 2-0 within four minutes, after a defensive horror show from the hosts left a one-on-one with Popple to slot home.

More chaotic Whitby defending then brought a third on 20 minutes. 

Stockton almost notched a bizarre fourth as a lobbed free kick dropped onto the Whitby crossbar from the Stockton half.

The match was all over early in the second half. First, a defender stayed up after a free kick was kept alive before controlling neatly and turning expertly past Popple.

Then six minutes into the restart, a bulldozing run was adjudged to have been unfairly ended by James Dillon and the resulting penalty was slammed home for 5-0.

Rose was again denied, five minutes from time.

For Whitby, it was the fifth time this season they've leaked five goals or more in a match.

Attendance: 628

Lee told Whitby Town TV there were no excuses:

Town go to Emley next Saturday in NPL Premier.
