Blues Shut Out Fourth Placed Radcliffe in Stalemate

Sunday, 5 March 2023 08:00

Whitby Town held fourth-placed Radcliffe, at the Towbar Express Stadium, to go 12 points clear of the NPL Premier relegation zone.

It's been a remarkable four weeks for Nathan Haslam's Whitby Town who have gone from third-bottom to one win from 10th spot, after five wins in February.

They couldn't take all three points despite matching promotion-chasing Radcliffe.

Town tested the Lancashire side, who they also drew with earlier in the season.

This despite losing winger Harry Green to work commitments and Malik Dijksteel to a transfer to a National League outfit.

They followed up their hard-fought 2-2 draw at third-placed Warrington with ten men for much of the match with a 0-0 draw with Radcliffe.

Haslam spoke to Whitby Town TV after the game:

🗣️ "We'll take a draw and a clean sheet."
