Walton rescues ‘Sedge at Brid

NPL Division One East Round-Up

Liversedge hero Joe Walton

Bridlington Town were just seconds away from recording a memorable win over leaders Liversedge whose star striker Joe Walton rescued them in the 2-2 draw.

Brid were actually 2-0 up until the 81st minute as Lewis Dennison (penalty) and Danny Earl put them in control.

Kurt Harris brought ‘Sedge back into it and Walton made himself the hero.

Pontefract Collieries player/coach Gavin Rothery

Pontefract Collieries put another North East giant to the sword to record a fourth straight win and clean sheet.

Despite playing with ten men for the whole of the second half, Pontefract beat Stockton Town 2-0 at Beechnut Lane.

Stockton had been on a ten-match winning run as well.

Captain Jack Greenhough’s red card for a bad challenge failed to stop Craig Rouse’s side in their tracks.

Gavin Rothery scored directly from a corner late-on and Joe Lumsden found the net after capitalising on poor defending.
