Bridlington Town Kick Off Now Lunch Time

Friday, 29 December 2023 06:00

By Andrew Snaith & Ben Edwards

Brid will kick off at 1.00pm on Saturday as they look for revenge against Winterton Rangers.

The Seasiders will take to the field for the final time in 2023, when they host Winterton Rangers on Saturday.

Supporters should note the new, earlier kick off time of 1pm for the fixture, which is due to the floodlight issues that occurred at the end of the Dunston match last Saturday.

That game ended in a 3-0 defeat against the Tyne & Wear side, with the windy conditions making it a difficult encounter and limiting the number of chances.

However, Brid boss Adie Costello told Brid Town TV he is not concerned by successive defeats:

Saturday’s visitors, Winterton Rangers, are hovering just above the relegation zone in 18th, having just been promoted to the Northern Premier League East last season.

In their Boxing Day match, they also took a two minute lead. However, Brighouse Town left it late, netting in the 88th and 95th minute to leave Winterton with the three points.

The Rangers did, however, pick up an impressive point on Saturday, drawing 0-0 away from home against 3rd place Consett AFC.

It was disappointment for Bridlington Town when they played Winterton Rangers earlier in the season, with a poor performance seeing them pick up a 1-0 defeat, Winterton’s first of the campaign.

Costello wants some revenge at the weekend:

That was the third game in five days for the Seasiders, which was possibly one too many in a short space of time. 

With a similar situation on this occasion as it’s a third game in a week, they will certainly be hoping it won’t be the case this time, as it’s important not to leave the festive period with zero points from a possible nine.

Since the previous game against Winterton, former Bridlington Town player Will Sutton has joined the North Lincolnshire side. Having played for Liversedge at the start of the season, it will be the second time he has returned to the Hudgell Solicitor Stadium this season.
