Whitby Town Well Beaten Despite Phuthi's Beauty

The Blues star was a deserved man of the match but otherwise it was a disappointing day for most at the Towbar Express Stadium.

Over 500 packed in but visitors Alfreton led in the first half after a low cross was bundled in.

Things went from bad to worse for Whitby when Stan Hewitt received a second yellow card for a stamp.

The visitors from Derbyshire took advantage with a second just before half-time.

The match was effectively ended when the away side made it three though there was brief hope as Joey Phuthi netted a 25-yard screamer for 3-1.

That was quickly dashed when a fourth was forced home moments later.

Whitby manager Lee Bullock refused to make excuses when speaking to Whitby Town TV at full-time:

The Blues host fellow NPL Premier side Ashton United in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round on Saturday.
