Bridlington Town head north on Saturday, taking on Bishop Auckland and hoping to bring their first three points of the season back to the Yorkshire Coast.
It’ll be nearly three weeks since the Seasiders’ last Northern Premier League match, which came against rivals North Ferriby on Bank Holiday Monday. Unfortunately, Ferriby ran rampant and came out 3-0 winners.
Ultimately, after a poor start to the season which saw Bridlington pick up just two points in five games, it signalled a change in management, with Denny Ingram stepping up as manager.
His first game in charge came last Saturday against Northern Premier League West Division leaders Trafford FC in the FA Trophy 1st Qualifying Round.
Signs were positive, as despite a 1-0 defeat, the Seasiders put in a much improved performance. New signings Sam Kay and Nathan Dyer both impressed on debut as they played the full 90 minutes, though Danny Earl missed out due to injury.
The crucial moment in the game came when the hosts won a penalty, though Michael Coulson’s spot kick was saved. Ingram stated that he believed his side would have gone on to win the game had the penalty been put away.
Nevertheless, the better Bridlington showing all bodes well for the trip to Bishop Auckland, who the Seasiders faced in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round last campaign.
The Bishops, who won the FA Cup tie 3-0, went on to win the Northern League with 100 points to gain promotion to the Northern Premier League this season.
In their opening five games, they’ve collected four points, with a 2-1 win against Ashington AFC and a 2-2 draw against Newton Aycliffe.
They too were knocked out of the FA Trophy by one goal in their last game, losing 2-1 against Nantwich Town.
