NEWTON AYCLIFFE 1 WHITLEY BAY 0 Thursday 26th April A goal inside the third minute was enough to give Aycliffe the points against a severely depleted Bay side at Moore Lane Park. Work commitments together with an ever growing injury list meant that Andy Gowens was down to the bare bones for Whitley’s third game...Continue reading

WHITLEY BAY 1 MORPETH TOWN 4 Monday 23rd April Whitley produced a battling display against league leaders Morpeth Town in a game that was much closer than the final score would suggest. It was a huge improvement on the performance at Bishop Auckland two days earlier and the result was in doubt until the last...

BISHOP AUCKLAND 4 WHITLEY BAY 0 Saturday 21st April Whitley produced their poorest performance of the season as they slumped to a heavy defeat at relegation threatened Bishop Auckland. Callum Anderson, David Hall and Graham Williams all missed out through injury and a fragile Bay defence never got to grips with a determined home side...

WHITLEY BAY 3 BILLINGHAM SYNTHONIA 1 Tuesday 17th April Whitley recorded their first win for two months with a comfortable victory over bottom of the table Billingham Synthonia.

WHITLEY BAY 2 TEAM NORTHUMBRIA 2 Saturday 14th April Jack Walker’s dramatic late equaliser ensured that Whitley finally ended their losing run which extended back to early February.

While Marske deserved their victory, the final scoreline...

WHITLEY BAY 1 NORTH SHIELDS 3 Friday 30th March Whitley’s run of misfortune continued as two very late goals denied them the point their performance deserved against local rivals North Shields. A bumper crowd of 750 fans packed into Hillheads Park for this Good Friday fixture and they were treated to an entertaining and hard...

PENRITH 3 WHITLEY BAY 1 Saturday 24th March Whitley’s poor run of form continued at Penrith as a second half hat trick from striker Martyn Coleman earned victory for the Cumbrians. Andy Gowens made one change from the side that performed well without reward at Shildon in midweek, Callum Johnston coming in for the unlucky...Continue reading

SHILDON 2 WHITLEY BAY 1 Wednesday 21st March Whitley can count themselves extremely unfortunate not to have gained at least a share of the spoils from what was an entertaining game at Shildon. A deflected shot gave the hosts a half time lead before Tom Potter equalised just after the restart but then a bizarre...

WHITLEY BAY 2 SUNDERLAND RCA 6 Tuesday 13th March A Bay side reduced to ten men in the opening minutes suffered a heavy defeat against Sunderland RCA in a game of controversial decisions by the match officials. In his first game back in charge at Hillheads, Andy Gowens was dealt two blows shortly before kick...
