Brighouse Town bagged bragging rights over Yorkshire rivals Whitby with a convincing 4-1 win in their final pre-season friendly before next week’s curtain-raiser in the Northern Premier League – East.
Worthing manager Adam Hinshelwood called it “a long time coming” as his side secured the league title many believe they were denied by the disruption of the Covid years.
BOWERS & Pitsea boss Rob Small admitted he was disappointed despite his side coming to within one goal of bridging a three-division gap in front of a crowd of nearly 6,000 at Sincil Bank.
