Whitby Town Want Yorkshire Derby Victory

Whitby Town Aim for Victory in Yorkshire Derby

The Blues will face West Yorkshire rivals Guiseley at the Towbar Express Stadium on Saturday. Guiseley recently appointed Ian Richards, formerly of Stocksbridge Park Steels, as their new manager but are yet to secure a win under his leadership.

Player Insights from Jake Charles

Blues striker Jake Charles, who previously played for Guiseley, anticipates a challenging match:

"It's going to be a tough test on Saturday, especially with them having the new manager in. They've got a good squad as it is and I'm sure they're expecting not to be at the end of the table, where they are at the minute. So they'll be looking to try and get a result, but it's our job to make it difficult for them, and obviously we're in good form at home as well.

He [Richards] did a good job down at Stocksbridge, and I think that's obviously what Guiseley have seen, the job that he's done and brought him in. And he's got a good squad there at Guiseley, I know a couple of their lads, and they're obviously not happy where they are on the table.

We need to try and keep them at bay on Saturday, stick to what we're good at and go from there."
