Bridlington Rovers Pandas dragged into relegation scrap after loss at home to Driffield Town
Bridlington Rovers Pandas were dragged into the Right Car East Riding County Football League Division Two relegation dogfight by a 4-2 home loss to rivals Driffield Town on Saturday.
This was a really disappointing result for the Pandas, going down to a dogged Driffield Town side at home.
The Pandas started the game well but they soon found themselves behind after failing to clear from a corner.
Driffield soon found themselves two goals up from a disputed offside and then made it 3-0 to take a firm grip of the match.
The home side then made a change bringing the excellent Hugo Woods on, who made an instant impact playing Ellis Bath through who finished nicely to make it 3-1 at the break.
The Pandas soon made it 3-2 after another Bath goal to put them right in the contest.
The home side had other chances to level but it wasn’t to be and Driffield got a fourth late on to put the game to bed.
Alfie Pallant was named as the man of the match for Brid Rovers Pandas.
Pandas coach Martin Richardson said: “It was a really disappointing result today.
“These are the games we should be looking to win.
"We’re in a poor spell at the moment and confidence is low but we’ll keep working to turn things round.”
The Pandas host rivals Hornsea Town Reserves this Saturday.
Bridlington Rovers 1903 lost 5-1 at Barmby Moor in the East Riding FA Junior Country Cup, with Jay Wallace netting for Rovers.
