Bridlington Town struck early but still lost out on Boxing Day in NPL East.
It was another game of few chances, but unfortunately Town fell to a 3-1 defeat in their shortest away trip of the season against North Ferriby.
For the third game in a row, Adrian Costello named an unchanged starting lineup for the third game in a row, with new signing Jake Brown making his debut from the bench.
The Seasiders couldn’t have asked for a better start to the game. Andy Norfolk won a free kick on the left hand side, a good distance from goal. Jack Walters took the set-piece, curling it around the wall and into the bottom corner in the second minute.
Just four minutes later though, Pete Davidson was penalised for a handball in the penalty area. Josh Whitley left James Hitchcock with no chance from the spot, smashing the ball past the shot-stopper.
After an eventful opening 10 minutes, the game calmed down, with North Ferriby probably edging it in terms of possession and chances. They forced Jack Bulless into a headed clearance off the line after a dangerous corner routine.
Hitchcock then comfortably gathered Jack Johnson’s 20-yard strike, before a fizzing effort from Danny East went just over the bar.
With the scores level at half time, just four minutes into the second half the hosts took the lead. Tom Corner reacted quickest to latch onto a loose ball, before striking on the turn into the left-hand side of the goal,
Strong appeals for a penalty for the Seasiders were waved away, after Lewis Dennison went down in the penalty area.
Glen Sani then linked up well with Dennison on the edge of the penalty area, but the shot was deflected wide for a corner.
Towards the conclusion of the match, Harry Lovick fired over from 25-yards, before North Ferriby eventually put the result beyond all doubt.
Pushing for an equaliser in injury time, Bridlington Town pushed James Williamson into a striker position, however, this only left them vulnerable to a counter attack. Former Seasiders Danny Earl cut inside Alex Markham, before firing low and beyond Hitchcock at the near post.
Brid Town TV caught up with Brid manager Adie Costello after the full-time whistle:
