I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters of Billingham Town and I hope they enjoy their evening with us. Town have struggled for much of the season and are currently third from bottom of the table but on Saturday they recorded one of their best results so far, winning 4-1 at Tow Law and I am sure they will be hoping to continue their improved form tonight. We seem to be saving our best performances for the FA Vase and the first half against Bridlington on Saturday was a real joy to watch. We overwhelmed one of the best sides in the Northern Counties East League with four goals in half an hour as Paul Chow continued his remarkable run in the Vase, having now scored in each of the last 12 rounds of the competition. It was also good to see David Coulson on the score sheet again with two excellent headers. Every player contributed to the victory but unfortunately, several picked up injuries which may rule them out of tonight’s game. This may give opportunities to one or two of the reserves, who recorded an outstanding 8-1 win away to Northern Alliance champions Ponteland United at the weekend. If Gareth Williams plays tonight, it will be his 100th appearance for Whitley and his 76th since returning to Hillheads at the start of last season. Congratulations ‘Cheeks’ and here’s to many more appearances in Bay colours! Next Saturday we face a tough game at Ashington, who will be buoyant after causing one of the shocks of the round by knocking Spennymoor out of the Vase last Saturday. Our next game back at Hillheads will be on Saturday 17th December, when we play South Shields. Paul McIlduff Chairman HOWAY THE BAY!
