Tough Weekend of Games for Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington

Saturday, 24 February 2024 06:05

By John Clayton and Ben Edwards

The Yorkshire Coast's three football teams are all in action today.

Whitby Towns fixture list continues to pile up with postponed games, but will today hope to take on high flying Hyde United, at home in a 3pm kick off. Hyde are currently 2nd in the league table, whilst Whitby are mid table in 11th.

Their last game was against Northallerton Town in the Cup - securing an excellent 3-1 victory, at the beginning of the month.

Meanwhile, Scarborough Athletic will look to put an end to what has been a bad run of results - with a trip Gloucester City today.

Despite the poor run, Scarborough are in 8th position in the National League, with a chance still of securing a promotion play off spot, whilst their opponents are struggling to stay in the division - sitting near the bottom in 22nd place.

Boss Jono Greening spoke with Scarborough Athletic TV, and thinks whilst they are creating chances - they need to start scoring to win games.....

Jono goes onto to say that those promotion play off places are still the aim:

And Bridlington Town will look for more consistency as they travel to Brighouse, the team currently just above them in the table, separated only by goal difference.

It will be the Seasiders’ second away game of the week, having made the long journey to Carlton Town on Tuesday. It was an evening to forget, as a poor Bridlington Town performance saw them lose 5-0.

The defeat, which made it three consecutive losses in the league, dropped Bridlington one place into 16th with 29 points going into the final 10 games of the season.

Brighouse have managed the same points tally so far, though still have 11 games left to play. Their -13 goal difference is two superior than Bridlington Town’s, and as such they sit one place above the Seasiders.

The Seasiders have enjoyed some good results against Brighouse Town over the last couple of seasons.

Last campaign, they did the double over them. Andy Norfolk scored the only goal of the game in injury time at the Hudgell Solicitor Stadium, before Bridlington won 3-2 the last time the two sides played in Brighouse.

They could be on course to do the same again this season, as Bridlington Town claimed all three points in a convincing 3-0 victory back in October.
