Brid Face North East FA Cup Battle

Saturday, 16 August 2025 06:00

Bridlington Town are in FA Cup action at Northern League opposition on Saturday.

Mike Thompson's men had to beat Knaresborough twice in the last round after a refereeing mix-up involving substitutions in Brid's 2-1 extra-time win saw the result chalked off and a second replay ordered. Brid won that 4-1 on Tuesday.

As a result, they go to West Auckland Town of Northern League Division hoping to be in the FA Cup First Qualifying Round draw on Monday, with the likes of Pickering Town, who face a midweek replay and Whitby Town.

Brid are hoping to make it four unbeaten in County Durham on Saturday.

Kick-off is 3.00pm.

Any replay would be at the Mounting Systems Stadium on Tuesday night, at 7.45pm.
