Whitby were two up after only 7 minutes and it looked as though they would blast the visitors right off the field (despite playing minus 3 regulars) But the Pete's defense tightened up and with the local defence playing the usual steady game niôst 6f the play was confined to mid-field -although Whitby did have more of the chances. Spyros Spyrou was helped on the first of his two goals by some good work by Rob- bie Van Essen and Martin Algeo, and the second when he knocked in the ball after a fine Carmelo Scaffidi shot rebounded off the crossbar.
