Walton scores 97th minute winner for ‘Sedge

NPL Division One East Round-Up

Liversedge hero Joe Walton

Joe Walton scored a sensational 97th minute winner for unbeaten leaders Liversedge who snatched a 2-1 win at local rivals Liversedge.

Just minutes earlier Brighouse thought they had rescued a point as Jack Boyle had equalised from a free kick.

The feisty encounter only burst into life with 15 minutes left when Ben Atkinson fired ‘Sedge in front.

Both sides were reduced to ten men in the 85th minute when ‘Sedge captain Jack Stockdill and Brighouse’s Corey Gregory were red carded following a schmozzle.

More drama followed with Brighouse experiencing a huge high and a huge low.

The win for Liversedge was made even sweeter by the news Marske United had lost to Stockton Town.

Bridlington Town manager Brett Agnew

Brett Agnew scored twice as Bridlington Town won for the third consecutive time in the six-pointer with Pickering Town.

Brid came from behind to win 5-2 thanks to a destructive opening 15 minutes to the second half.

Lewis Taylor put the Pikes in front but Agnew and Danny Earl ensured Brid were ahead at half-time.

Agnew, Flynn McNaughton and Will Annan powered Brid further in front in the second half.

Luke Jones pulled one back for Pickering.

One blow for Brid was the dismissal of Earl for two bookable offences.
