The season finale at Queensgate ended in a 1-0 victory against Stocksbridge Park Steels to avoid the drop. Jake Martindale was the only change to the starting lineup, replacing Tom Algar.
Great link-up play between Benn Lewis and Ali Aydemir saw the latter’s cross blocked for a corner. The set piece was whipped in by Andy Norfolk, finding James Williamson but his header into the ground was cleared.
Three minutes later Lewis played a good ball to Norfolk, whose powerful strike from a narrow angle was saved by Ben Townsend.
From the corner, Norfolk’s outswinger found Jack Griffin, whose header was saved. The visitors looked to counter but Will Sutton did well to get a foot in to relieve the danger.
Just before the half-hour mark, Aydemir played a good ball down the line to the overlapping Lewis. His cross was sublime and found Matt Broadley, who headed home from close range.
There were no chances in the remainder of the first half and Bridlington Town went into the break ahead.
A good move saw Matty Dixon pick up the ball in the midfield and play a superb ball with the outside of his foot to Norfolk. He cut inside from the left before unleashing an effort that went just wide of the right post.
Pushing for an equaliser, Ofoegbu struck from range with 10 minutes to go but it flew over the crossbar. A minute later the hosts had multiple effort blocked on the edge of the penalty area, before Lewis’ effort went just over.
With three minutes to go Norfolk had the final chance of the game. His free kick was heading for the top-left corner, but it was blocked.
