A three-goal salvo in the second half gave Chorley an ultimately comprehensive 3-0 victory over a shot-shy Gloucester City to lift the Magpies to eighth in National League North.
Having had to wait 53 minutes, an excellent crowd of 1,375 was promptly treated to not one but two goals in three minutes.
Then Whitehouse bagged the second himself, from a grounded position somehow managing to whip a low 15-yard drive past a surprised Hall who had no chance to save. Joe Nolan won a brave header on the edge of the box to redirect the ball goalwards and Hall was quick to react and nonchalantly slip it into the corner of the net from short range.
All this was in stark contrast to a featureless opening half illuminated only by a good early save from Jon Ustabasi and a Scott Leather attempt from eight yards which struck the post when a goal seemed certain.
