Blues Beat The Weather And Promotion Rivals

Whitby Town put a spanner in Hyde's hopes and strengthened their own in controversial fashion on Saturday.

The Blues were good value for their 1-0 half-time lead after Nathan Thomas netted his first goal for the club against the Tigers, who started the day second in NPL Premier.

However, the North West side levelled just after the hour only for Brad Fewster to fire home the winner a minute from time after lengthy discussion between referee and linesman as the ball bounced in off the underside of the crossbar.

Town manager Nathan Haslam spoke to Whitby Town TV after the victory:

The Seasiders are tenth, eight points outside the play-off places with two games in hand on most sides above them.

Blues are back at home amid a busy six weeks, they welcome Lancaster City to the Towbar Express Stadium with a 7.45pm kick-off.
