Despite being 4-0 down within 17 minutes, Fishburn put in a spirited performance against their semi-professional opponents and showed some signs of promise.

It was Jacob Hazel who got Town off to their flying start, with the former Frickley Athletic and Scarborough Athletic man scoring all four early goals.

This flurry of strikes could easily have led Fishburn to cave in, however they did anything but and forced the Seasiders into some hurried clearances after a couple of spells of carnage in the Blues' penalty area.

Half-time saw both sides make a number of changes, and one of Whitby's switches got his name on the scoresheet six minutes after the break.

Bradley Fewster, fresh from scoring five in the semi-final victory over Whitby Fishermen's Society, broke into the Fishburn box before firing low across Jamie Wassall and into the bottom corner.

However, the former Middlesbrough striker wasn't smiling shortly after as he put a penalty wide of the target after a Trialist was brought down in the box leaving recently promoted Premier League official Tony Harrington no choice but to point to the spot.

A surprising introduction late on was the introduction of joint-manager, Lee Bullock, however the 40-year-old made a name for himself, scoring a hat-trick.

The former York City man has made a playing career out of featuring in defence and midfield, however on this occasion he found himself up front and impressively claimed a seven-minute hat-trick.

There was also an additional strike from a trialist in between Bullock's second and third goals.
