A decent sized crowd was present at the Turnbull Ground.Sadly missed in defence was Jamie Waltham and Reid in the Boro goal had a nightmare game gifting Whitby both their goals.
Joel Hartley had an excellent game and scored a wonderful goal.The half time score was 0-0, but Boro had the most chances and could easily have been 2 or 3 goals up at this stage of the game.
A half-time view as everyone headed for the refreshment bar.The 2nd half started badly as Whitby took an early lead following a mix up in the Boro defence.
Paul Routledge made the scores level at 1-1 and with about 15 minutes remaining Joel Hartley, who had an excellent game for the Boro scored a brilliant goal, Callum Reid who had come on as a sub' played an inch perfect ball for Joel to run onto and he scored with style.
Just 1 of the numerous Boro attacks on the Whitby goal.Unfortunatly in the 89th minute of the game Whitby were handed a simple equaliser after Reid in the Boro goal misjudged a long shot and watched helplessly as the ball first struck the post, then himself before a Whitby player finally slotted the ball home into an empty goal for their last gasp equaliser.
Overall it was another great team effort, full of commitment as usual, great performances from Joel Hartley and Gary Hepples in particular, and we must remember that Whitby are 2 steps above us in the pyramid.
There was another great turnout of Boro fans, I would estimate that around 250 of the 350 crowd were travelling supporters, looking forward to the trip to Goole Town on Saturday for the next friendly, the Victoria Pleasure Ground was the first ever ground that I visited as a travelling fan of Scarborough FC way back in 1968, 2 Wallace Arnold coaches carried the fans from their Colombus Ravine depot, happy days.
UP THE BORO..........................
