Bridlington Town remain unbeaten in NPL East after a second win in as many days.
Bridlington Town welcomed North Ferriby to the Mounting Systems Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday as they made it 3 wins from 3 with a 2-0 victory against their local rivals.
A crowd of 498, cheered on the home side with a strong away following from the visitors.
First half goals from Michael Coulson and Ahmed Salam secured the three points for the Seasiders.
A physical match ensued between the two sides for the full 90 minutes, with neither team getting a foothold of the game until the quarter of an hour mark, when Will Annan had a chance from a free kick to Ahmed Salam, although his first time effort went wide.
Ferriby responded with a chance of their own when Myron Gibbons went onto the counterattack as he squared the ball to Sam Aynsley and went one on one with Jonathan Dash, although Jak Whiting was on hand to clear the ball out for a throw in.
After a reasonably dull first period it was Coulson who broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark for the Seasiders when he attempted a cross, however his cross ricocheted off the inside of the post into the back of the Villagers net, leaving the keeper rooted to is spot,
The visitors were quick to respond and had the home side on the back foot when Aynsley drove to the byline, with a neatly time pass to Gibbons, but his close-range shot rattled off the post.
Just on the cusp of half time, the Seasiders doubled their advantage when Casey Stewart struck straight to the keeper, the Ferriby number 1 spilled the ball, and Salam fired the ball into the back of the net from the rebound.
The second was a feisty affair with Tom Allan and Annan both receiving yellow cards.
The Villagers had a chance to get themselves back into the match as they were awarded a penalty, Jak Whiting was deemed to have pulled down Aynsley in the area although former Seasiders striker Lewis Dennison had his spot kick saved by the stretched-out keeper of Jonathan Dash, even with a rebound Dash was equal to the task.
Asa the game wore on Mike Thompson made his first substitution with Charlie Dunkerley coming off for Joe Batty.
Ferriby though did try to get back onto the front foot, Louis Kirk tried his luck as he attempted a shot from the edge of the box, but to no avail
With moments left in the match, Salam came very close to adding a third to the tally when he tried his luck from the edge of the box, but the Ferriby keeper was once again equal to the task.
Mike Thompson had this to say after the match, “I’m happy with the result, we set a target of getting 6 points out of the weekend after our opening day victory against Ashington, 3 points is huge especially in a local derby, cause usually the tensions are high.
The Seasiders go joint top with Redcar Athletic, Dunston, Grimsby Borough and Bradford Park Avenue, on Saturday the Queensgate men go on the road to the north-east again to Newton Aycliffe.
