After the interval Whitby doubled their advantage from the free-kick.

Boss Andrew Hardy was forced into a number of changes and a re-shuffle, starting himself at centre-back; Ry Roe came in at right-back; and Phil Spencer and Karl Hewison paired up in the centre of midfield.

Si Taylor dropped into left back; Ben Pike switched to the left of midfield, with Dom Ingham moving out to the right.

The wind played havoc throughout the game, making any real football difficult.

But two phases of play meant Goldsbrough were able to take a two-goal lead into half-time.

Hardy read a situation well, stepping into midfield and intercepting a through ball. He carried forward before playing in Damon Craig, with the defender only half cutting the ball out before it fell back into Craig’s path. He squared for captain Ben Watson to finish.

The second was a brilliant individual goal thanks to Karl Hewison, who picked the ball up in midfield before driving forwards and hitting a shot from 25 yards that flew in off the post.

In between the goals Ryedale looked odds-on to equalise when Mikey Clark got ahead of Roe, but the latter made a brilliant last-ditch tackle just as the forward was about to pull the trigger.

Ryedale reset at half time and the pressure was always on Goldsborough and not give them the opportunity to get the ball down and hit them on the break.

Ten minutes later Ben Webster’s free-kick set up Jordan to neatly place the ball past the keeper and into the top corner to earn a point.
