Bridlington Town face Grimsby Borough, the only team they haven’t yet played in the Northern Premier League in today's Boxing Day fixture.
The game gets underway at 3pm at the Mounting Systems Stadium.
There’s plenty to talk about on the pitch, but it’s an incredibly important day off the pitch, as the club will be remembering the life of former goalkeeper James Hitchcock, who tragically passed away last week.
On the pitch, the Seasiders go into the game with four straight defeats under their belt, so will be hoping for three points to end the year, with the hope of a much improved 2025 to look forward to.
Most recently, Bridlington fell to a 3-2 defeat against Carlton Town. Sam Kay opened the scoring for the Seasiders, though three Carlton goals saw them lead 3-1 at the break.
Bridlington came out of the blocks quickly in the second half, with Ahmed Sallam scoring from a corner, though the visitors were unable to find the equaliser.
Denny Ingram said he was:
“Very, very disappointed. (It’s) nowhere near good enough by any stretch of the imagination.”
It leaves the Seasiders in the relegation zone in 19th with 20 points. To make matters worse, should Ashington, just a point below Bridlington, pick up or draw or better in their game in hand, they will go above them.
As for Grimsby Borough, they occupy a mid-table position, sitting 11th with 28 points. The trip to Bridlington will be their third consecutive away game, as they beat Bishop Auckland 2-0 on the road, though then lost 2-1 against Emley AFC.
Last campaign, Bridlington picked up a 1-0 victory away from home against Grimsby Borough. In the reverse fixture, they earned their first points of the season, drawing 2-2 thanks to Glen Sani’s injury time equaliser.
