The Blues left it late on day one of the NPL Premier season, in Cumbria, on Saturday.
Town could've been forgiven for thinking it wasn't going to be their day when their coach had a mechanical issue causing a lengthy stop by the side of the A66 on route to the game, which kicked off half an hour late as a result. Then especially when Gary Liddle's men fell behind, at Workington, around the half hour mark when the ball was forced home from a corner.
However, the visitors roared back on the hour when former Scarborough midfielder Michael Woods smashed in off the underside of the crossbar.
Then a scramble in injury time was turned home by the unlikely figure of right-back Connor Smith for a 2-1 victory.
Whitby Town player-manager Gary Liddle paid tribute to his players' efforts when he spoke to Whitby Town TV:
The only blot for the Blues was Jake Charles limping off with a hamstring injury.
Matty Tymon replaced him and spoke to Whitby Town TV after the game:
Here's the best of the action as heard on This Is The Coast Extra, with commentary from Paul Connolly:
Whitby Town play their first home game of the new season, on Tuesday, when newly-promoted Sheffield side Stocksbridge visit the Towbar Express Stadium.
Kick-off is 7.45pm.
