Bridlington Town built upon last week’s 1-0 victory away from home against Garforth Town, keeping another clean sheet with a 1-0 win against Dunston in the Northern Premier League East.
Manager Denny Ingram was delighted with his side's first three points at home this season.
It was an uneventful start to proceedings, with Sebastian Malkowski getting a fingertip to Scott Robson’s header, pushing the ball behind for a corner.
With 22 minutes played, Michael Coulson was tripped inside the 18-yard box whilst attempting a shot, with referee Matthew East pointing to the spot. Sam Leverett took the penalty, sending goalkeeper Daniel Lowson the wrong way with a composed finish into the right-hand side.
Malkowski was forced into another save, standing up one-on-one with Scott Robson at a tight angle. From the resulting corner, Dunston skipper Michael Pearson rose highest, but headed off target.
Scott Robson continued to look dangerous for the visitors as he scuffed an effort wide.
The Seasiders had a great chance double their advantage five minutes before the interval. Sam Leverett played a nice ball down the line to Nathan Dyer, who drove forward and laid the ball off to Coulson, but he curled it over.
After a first half where Bridlington had the majority of the chances, Dunston came into their own after the break. That said, it was the hosts who had the opening opportunities.
Danny Earl drove into the penalty area, forcing a save out of Lowson at the near post. A minute later, the Bridlington number 9 headed into the arms of the Dunston shot stopper.
Jonathon Chrisp attempted a daisycutter from 20 yards for Dunston, but it was comfortably wide of the right post.
Just after the hour mark, Dale Pearson whipped a free kick around the wall, but around the left post.
In search of the equaliser, the Dunston pressure continued as Harvey Neary cut inside from the right, but his left footed effort was tame.
Bridlington still had an outball through Earl, who beat two men on the right flank before his sweeping shot was saved. Moments later, he played the ball back to substitute Harvey Cribb, who fired well over from 20 yards.
Whilst Dunston gave it everything, they were unable to create many more clear cut chances, with Ingram’s side claiming another crucial three points.
