Nantwich Town’s season continues to fizzle out as they slumped to another defeat, 4-2 away at Whitby.
Aaron Burns gave Danny Johnson’s men the perfect start when he fired home after just eight minutes on the east coast.
But the hosts, backed by just 250 supporters, levelled before the break through Shane Henry in the 30th minute.
Whitby then took control midway through the second period when Mark Robinson smashed a penalty passed Steve James on 67 minutes.
The Nantwich defence was caught out again five minutes later as Lee Mason made the points safe for the hosts, before Henry added his second and Whitby’s fourth in the 81st minute.
The Dabbers scored a late consolation through Ben Deegan (pictured) on 88 minutes, but it was too little too late.
The defeat saw Whitby leap-frog Nantwich in the table and the Dabbers now lie in 14th place in Evo-Stik Premier League, nine points clear of the relegation places with six matches to go.
