Bridlington Town fell to a 3-0 defeat against Dunston in the FA Cup Preliminary Round, on Saturday.
Town manager Mike Thompson had several players unavailable, and opted to change formation from his usual 4-2-3-1 to a 3-5-2.
Both sides created chances in the first half, the first of which fell the way of the hosts. Andy Norfolk’s inswinging corner was met by Jack Bulless, but his header into the ground was judged to have not crossed the line despite claims from players.
Dunston’s chances then came, as a cross found their attacker unmarked, only for him to head it straight into the arms of James Hitchcock. Striker Michael Fowler then got in behind the Brid defence, though his effort was tame and comfortably wide.
Just five minutes before the break, Dunston had the ball in the back of the net. Hitchcock made a brilliant save one-on-one with Fowler. The rebound was tapped home by Liam Thear, but the linesman had his flag up for offside taking both teams into the break goalless.
The deadlock was broken by the visitors 10 minutes into the second half, as Ursene Mouanda found Will Jenkins, who finished nicely into the bottom corner.
Substitute Jack Elliott, who entered the pitch in an enforced change for the injured Jude Swailes, doubled Dunston’s lead. Mouanda again got the assist which saw Elliott slot the ball into the back of the net.
Dunston sealed the deal late on through another substitute Sado Djalo, who tapped the ball into an empty net to knock the Seasiders out of the FA Cup in the Preliminary Round.
