Bridlington Town have their shortest trip of the season tonight kick-starting a run of three consecutive away games.
Town will be away against local rivals North Ferriby in the Northern Premier League East.
The Seasiders, who are in the middle of a busy schedule with games against difficult opponents, have picked up just one point from their last five games.
They were defeated 3-0 at home against lead leaders Cleethorpes Town on Saturday, though the scoreline slightly flattered the hosts.
After the game, Mike Thompson said:
“They are probably the current league leaders because they’re clinical.
“I don’t think they were not going to not score the opportunities. There was not much in it in the second half, they had a couple of opportunities and scored a couple of goals.”
On Benn Lewis and Danny Earl, who both missed out through injury, Thompson added:
“Benn Lewis we’re still not sure. He’s still not 100% right. Danny we’re going to have him in some cardio tomorrow and see how close he is for (North) Ferriby or Dunston (on Saturday).”
The defeat sent Bridlington back into the drop zone, as they occupy 19th position with 27 points. North Ferriby, like Cleethorpes, and like Dunston whom the Seasiders face next Saturday, sit at the other end of the Northern Premier League East table.
Chris Bolder’s side are currently fourth and inside the playoffs, and are on a five-game unbeaten run, from which they’ve picked up 13 points.
The only game in that streak that they failed to win was their most recent, as they picked up a goalless draw on the road against Grimsby Borough.
North Ferriby hammered the Seasiders in the reverse fixture back in August, winning 3-0 at the Mounting Systems Stadium.
However, Bridington did pick up two wins against the Villagers back in April, beating 2-1 on both occasions: on home soil in the league and at the Dransfield Stadium in the East Riding Senior Cup Final.
