Whitby Town Could Already Be Safe But Point Would Cement It

The Blues are at home to Blyth Spartans on Easter Monday.

Gary Liddle's men put themselves on the verge of safety with a 3-2 win at FC United of Manchester on Good Friday. Aaron Haswell scored twice and Matty Tymon made it 5 strikes in 5 games for him with another chipped goal.

Speaking to Whitby Town TV after the win, Liddle said:

"All that matters is the three points.

"After the Lancaster game, I said we wanted as many points as possible from the next four games."

Blues have won three of those with Blyth being the fourth in the sequence.

On Easter Sunday, fourth-bottom Matlock Town, who already trail Whitby by six points, with two to play, admitted they're facing a pending points deduction after fielding Joshua Smith in the 4-0 win at Hyde. Smith's loan from Accrington Stanley had already ended.

It's likely they'll lose three points as a result, but if the Gladiators fail to win at fellow Derbyshire side Ilkeston, on Monday, Whitby will stay up regardless.

Kick-off at the Towbar Express Stadium is 3.00pm.

If you really can't make it, there's full commentary on This Is The Coast Extra from just before.
