Bridlington Town Veterans 3-1 Bridlington Rovers B Veterans.
Town came into this game after a superb performance last time out against Newland.
Despite this, they started the game poorly and allowed Rovers to score after some sloppy passing and a deflected shot that left Howard Berridge with no chance.
The first half display was the poor, with both teams rarely threatening to score in the remainder of the half.
After an honest evaluation at half time Town came out with a different mindset in the second half.
Their much improved energy, desire and subsequent quality of football played saw them overrun Rovers.
Their dominance brought three goals, one for the returning Paul Smith, and two for Dean Douthwaite – his introduction to the game just before half time was a match changer.
Joe Stenton was superb throughout in the centre of midfield and was deservedly named man of the match.
Next week the Seasiders Vets face AAK where they can ill afforded to start in such sloppy fashion.
Town Manager Julian Morris was however delighted with the response after half time, when things aren’t going right you can’t ask more than the reaction the team gave.
