Whitby Town Woeful As Bright Run Ended

The Blues missed chances in the first half and failed to turn up for the second on Saturday.

The hosts had the better of the first period on the Yorkshire Coast but missed a string of chances before visitors Leek smashed in a beautiful goal from distance, against the run of play, eleven minutes before half-time.

Adam Gell fired across the face of goal, for Whitby, inside four minutes. Soon after, Jake Charles beat the offside flag but chipped wide. The same player then stabbed into the hands of Leek's keeper.

The visitors then broke the deadlock. If they were fortunate to lead at the break, there was only one team in it, after the interval, as goals just after the hour and four minutes from time gave the Staffordshire side a deserved 3-0 victory.

This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.

If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.

A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
