After
a flurry of activity from both sides, Burdick for the home side fired a powerful
shot but was wide of the mark. Hyde
threatened but were caught offside, then a neat move from Town almost saw Farley
in but the ball was just beyond him. On 10 mins Harris flicked on for Burdick
who forced a corner, but the header by Harper from the kick was wide.
Hyde had possession and pressed but Tolson and Barker were offside.
Bridlington attacked and under pressure a hand ball occurred giving Bridlington
a free kick just outside the Hyde box. Farley took the free and slotted the ball
through the wall past the unsighted Fish and into the net to give the home side
the lead on 15 mins. 1 – 0 From the restart a late challenge saw a melee with
several players involved resulting in bookings for Bridlington’s Thacker, and
Hyde’s Challender. The home side
were soon on the attack again and Burdick fired just wide from inside the box.
For Hyde, Trees and Callaghan linked well but Bridlington defended the threat.
On 25 mins Jason Harris went on a solo run but was felled from behind for a free
kick 25 yards out. A well worked free kick, straight from the training ground,
almost worked but Thacker fired just wide. Pendlebury found space on the left
for Hyde but his pull back was behind his strikers and Town cleared. On the half
hour, from a long clearance, Harris broke down the left and cut in but he fired
across the face of the goal. Burdick collected a loose pass and shot from
distance but was just over by inches. On 35 mins a flick on found Tolson and he
went over in the box under challenge from Heath and Robinson. A penalty was
awarded. Tolson fired and although Kelly got to the ball it squirmed under him
for Hyde to level on 35mins. From the restart Burdick crossed in and Thompson
side footed home an immediate response to put the home side infront again 2 –
1. on 37 mins Hyde gained ground
inside the last five mins of the half but a foul gave Bridlington possession.
Hyde regathered and gained a free 35 yards out but Bridlington cleared long.
With five minutes of added time neither side wanted to make a mistake and the
half drew to and end HT 2 – 1.
With
just five miutes of the second half gone, Bridlington worked the right and fed
Harris in the box. He turned swiftly and fired into the roof of the net to make
it 3 – 1 on 50 mins. Hyde launched a long ball forward and Robinson had to
concede a corner, the first of the match for Hyde on 55 mins. Bridlington
attacked back and earned a corner of their own but after a little confusion Fish
gathered. Town attacked again through Burdick down the right and his cross was
headed goalward by Harris who forced Fish to tip round. Either side of the hour
mark bith sides introduced substitutes and this slowed play a little. On 70
mimnutes Burdick rode a challenge to shoot from distance forcing a good save
from Fish. From a throw a long cross found Hyde’s Evans at the back post but
he headed over on 72mins. On 73 minutes Pendlebury scythed down Burdick near the
half way line butr was only spoken to by Referee Greenwood. Hyde tried to take
advantage through Barker and Evans whilst Burdick received treatment but Town
hit back with Paul Palmer firing straight at Fish. Hyde threw men forward in the last five minutes in search of
a goal but were again thwarted by the offside flag. In stoppage time a Hyde free
kick evaded all to go dead. Town fully deserved their win.
