Play-off hopes boosted as Aycliffe win at Bridlington

Bridlington Town 0, Newton Aycliffe 2

By Ryan Livingston

Newton Aycliffe’s victory against Bridlington will have warmed up the travelling Aycliffe fans who witnessed it, as a Liam Adamson brace helped Aycliffe continue their play-off pursuit.

The first half saw few chances, although Dean Thexton would have been in the perfect position to shoot in the 24th minute had the referee not blown for a handball.

Bridlington’s Alex Peterson did have a header from a free kick saved, and a promising free kick wasn’t capitalised on by Aycliffe on the cusp of half time. Meaning the first interval finished 0-0.

In the second half Jack Clarkson was substituted for Liam Adamson, and Adamson’s impact was almost instantaneous when Joe Ferguson launched a spectacular long range cross which flew past almost everyone on the field to find the feet of Adamson who sprinted towards goal and fired past Bridlington’s Sebastian Malkowski with ease in the 61st minute

It wouldn’t be the last time Adamson took advantage of Bridlington’s sloppy defending, and it also wouldn’t be the last time Ferguson launched a perfect cross.

The second goal came a mere seven minutes later, once again seeing Ferguson again fire a perfect cross, which found Ethan Wood, who then passed to Adamson who used his skills on the edge of the box to entirely outsmart Bridlington’s Sam Kay and fire it low to make it 2-0 in the 68th minute.

Ferguson was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet himself when his rocket of a shot hit the woodwork in the 77th minute.

Aycliffe would see out the game which was played in freezing conditions and claim the three points.

Sadly, Storm Bert saw off Saturday’s planned home game against Garforth Town.

Aycliffe have two away games, North Ferriby and Grimsby Borough, before returning to Moore Lane on Saturday, December 7, when Cleethorpes Town will be the visitors.
