The Miners suffered an early setback in the first minute when Jordan Emery was forced off with a hamstring injury, Dexter Ball replacing him.

It was a game full of endeavour from both sides but with few clear-cut chances. A Charlie Marshall shot went well wide from Max Tweddle's cross, then Jake Day's effort for Bridlington went just beyond the far post after Michael Coulson's foray in from the right. Teammate Will Annan then blazed over the bar after ex-Town midfielder Casey Stewart's delivery was headed down to him. Coulson came the closest for either side to opening the scoring two minutes before half time, his low shot from Stewart's cross rebounding off the near post.

The game remained evenly poised beyond the hour-mark with both keepers yet to be tested. A controversially awarded free-kick from a dangerous position ended in Coulson's effort going just over the crossbar. Town had struggled so far to penetrate what seemed like a packed penalty area, but the game was to turn in our favour on 67 mins when Luke Aldrich's shot took a wicked deflection and looped over Seasiders keeper Jonathan Dash to give us the lead. A third goal of the season for the striker.

The confidence returned and Charlie Marshall saw a low shot saved after good work on the right by Rinor Ejupi and Tweddle. The experience of sub Steven Jeff helped further when introduced just before on 72 mins, then the brave decision to bring on attackers Daniel Ramsden and then George Harrison, a gamble which was to pay handsomely. The Miners found an extra yard of pace and went on to give the hosts a torrid time. Within six minutes of coming on, Harrison grabbed the decisive second and his third of the season with a cracking strike off the far post after a through ball sent him racing clear. An impressive away win was complete on 90 mins with another well-taken goal; Ramsden converting Ejupi's cross for his first senior goal for the club.

A first win in four and a real shot in the arm after the pain of Saturday's defeat to Redcar. Two home games for Paul Marshall's side up next, starting with the visit of Ossett United on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
