Whitby Win Again On Emotional Night Under The Lights

Whitby Town beat local rivals Marske United 2-1 on a night when two Blues legends were remembered.

Before kick off, a minute's silence was held to remember former Manager Tony Lee and club volunteer David Griffifths, whose deaths have been announced in the last few days.

The matchday programme featured images of both on the front cover:

On the pitch Whitby had the better of the first half, going close on several occasions, inluding hitting the post. It was all square at half time.

On 67 minutes Whitby broke the deadlock through Harry Green after Marske failed to clear from a corner.

Just 5 minutes later, Marske levelled through Chimalilo.

Just before kick off, Whitby announced a new signing in Shaun Tuton. Straight after the equiliser he came on for his debut and within 3 minutes scored what proved to be the winning goal for Whitby Town.

Keeper Shane Blaned tweeted after: "For you Griffey and Tony".

The win takes Whitby up to 14th in the table, 4 points clear of the drop zone.

Here are the thoughts of Whitby boss Nathan Haslam:
