Bridlington's rugby union stars edged out their Scarborough rivals on Saturday.
Brid are still fifth in North East 2 but have cut the gap to their now-third-placed Yorkshire Coast rivals to just five points.
Bridlington won 26-24 at Duke's Park to halt a poor run of form.
The defeat ends a resurgent Scarborough's run of wins that took them as high as second spot.
Elsewhere, Whitby are sixth in Durham & Northumberland 2, after losing 29-10 on their longest trip of the season, to Ashington.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
