In the second half Whitley Bay retook the lead with just under fifteen minutes to go, only for Chesterfield to snatch all three points at the death.

Captain Jon Moores said: “This was always going to be a tough fixture so to come away with a win is massive for us.

"Every single person involved with the squad contributed.

“Whilst there’s been a terrific atmosphere in the team, I still felt we needed a win like today to really validate the work we’ve been doing.”
