Bridlington Town will welcome northern-based Dunston to the Hudgell Solicitor Stadium for an FA Cup Preliminary Round fixture, on Saturday.
The hosts have had an unbeaten first three games of the season. They were 3-1 victors against Whitley Bay in the previous round of the FA Cup. Their last game saw them travel to Lincoln United, which also ended 3-1. An Ali Aydemir hattrick secured the win despite being reduced to ten men in the 40th minute. Aydemir’s three goals means that he is top of the club’s scoring charts, and is joint top scorer in the league.
One man who joins him as the league’s top scorer is Michael Fowler of Dunston, who has three goals so far this season. Dunston’s last game saw them beat Shildon 2-0 away from home on Tuesday night, in which Fowler netted both goals. Despite this, the visitor’s opening game of the season ended in disappointment - losing 3-2 at home to Stocksbridge Park Steels. This will be Dunston’s first FA Cup outing this season, having not played in the Extra Preliminary Round due to having a bye.
Dunston will be familiar to the Bridlington faithful, as they faced each other in the memorable final game of last season, in which Lewis Dennison last minute penalty secured a 3-2 Brid win, but more importantly ensured the club avoided relegation. In the match at Dunston, Bridlington came away 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Brett Agnew and Declan Parker. It was the first of only two away wins for Bridlington last season, and Dunston proved to be one of just two clubs Bridlington did the double over.
With a first qualifying round place up for grabs, both teams will be determined to progress and gain the financial rewards of a cup run.
