Both Scarborough Athletic and Whitby Town are back in action at home while Bridlington face a tough test away.

Whitby Town have their first home game in five weeks this afternoon as they face Stalybridge Celtic at the Towbar Express stadium.

Town have played six away games in a row, manager Nathan Haslam told Whitby Town TV it's been tough on the players but hasn't stopped them improving their form.

Scarborough Athletic are back in league action today for the first time in two weeks.

Boro face second from bottom AFC Telford United at the flamingo Land Stadium.

Speaking to Scarborough Athletic TV, Boro Coach Jimmy Beadle says putting five past Kettering in their last league outing shows how well the side are performing this season.

If you really can't get to the Flamingo Land Stadium for today's game there will be commentary on This is the Coast Extra from just before 3pm.

Bridlington Town are away at top of the table Stockton Town, Bridlington go into the match unbeaten in the last three games having climbed to 6th in the table.

The hosts have had an excellent start to the season, with their eight wins in ten games placing them top of the Northern Premier League East Division. Whilst nevertheless a brilliant start, their form has dipped of late, as they have failed to claim three points in their last two league matches.

Bridlington Town, on the other hand, are in fine form. Though inconsistency frustrated manager Mike Thompson at the start of the season, he’s managed to improve his side defensively which has seen his side go unbeaten in the last three games and pick up back to back wins for the first time this campaign.
