The
Seasiders, going well in their league, took a 25th minute lead
through Kieran Weledji.
And
the Tigers hopes of taking on Southern League Premier Division Central outfit
Stourbridge in the Fourth Qualifying Round took a severe blow when they had
defender Josh Thomas sent-off with a straight red card for a foul on Bradley
Mills 5 minutes before half-time.
Weledji (pictured),
normally a defender but playing up front for injury-hit Whitby, doubled his and
the visitors` lead 5 minutes after the break.
Substitute
Zack Kotwica reduced the deficit for the ten-men in the 72nd minute, but an Adam
Gell third in the 85th minute ensured Whitby had an enjoyable,
albeit lengthy midweek journey home. |
