Bridlington Town Hold Kingpins

Over 470 supporters saw Brid Town hold leaders Bradford Park Avenue 0-0.

Bridlington Town earned a hard fought point at Queensgate on Saturday, holding Bradford Park Avenue to a goalless draw in a competitive league clash.

The game started with drama inside the opening two minutes as a scramble in the box saw the referee award Bradford (Park Avenue) a free-kick. Taken by former Seasiders goalkeeper Jack Hall, who, along with fellow ex-Brid player Charlie Winfield, returned to face the side they were so influential for in last season’s survival push.

Both teams had chances in the first half, with Bridlington looking sharp in possession and Avenue threatening on the counter, but neither side could find the breakthrough before half-time.

Manager Mike Thompson looked to change the momentum on 62 minutes, making a double substitution with Ben Farrar replacing Casey Stewart and Stan Hewitt coming on for Jake Day. The Seasiders pushed forward in search of a winner, but clear chances were limited as the two sides cancelled each other out.

After the match, head coach Thompson said:

"It's the first time we have sort of said to the lads today it felt like they didn't want to lose the game rather than going out and winning the game was the thought process."

The result keeps Bridlington unbeaten after seven league matches, with Avenue also maintaining their own perfect record without defeat. The Seasiders now turn their attention to the midweek clash with Matlock Town.
