WHITLEY BAY 3 ASHINGTON 2
Whitley defeated Ashington 3-2 on a bitterly cold afternoon at Hillheads to complete a successful week with seven points from three games. Connor Smith put Whitley ahead in the first half but amid horrendous conditions – near gale force wind and heavy rain and sleet, Ashington battled back to take the lead, scoring twice in three minutes. Michael Colquhoun equalised soon after and once the storm had passed, conditions for players and spectators improved considerably. Lewis Orrell’s deflected thunderbolt seven minutes from time clinched victory for Whitley and their first league double of the season. Full report, reaction and photos to follow.
Ahead of the game, Callum Anderson was presented with an award to mark his 350 appearances for the club.
The Reserves lost 5-1 away to Gateshead Rutherford.
Whitley’s next game is at home to Seaham Red Star next Saturday, 21st December.
