Tonight I intended going to watch Scarborough Athletic away at Nostell MW, but thanks to working late I now had the choice of a comfy chair by the fire and Arsenal v Ipswich on the tv or the short trip to the less glamorous surroundings of Queensgate and Bridlington Town v Armthorpe Welfare, EASY CHOICE, Queensgate it was.
Town played some attractive football and lead 1-0 at half time, they should have been 3-0 up had they taken their chances, ex Boro player Dave Kemp had a good game in defence, another ex Seadog Craig Hogg was'nt on top form though and he missed a couple of excellent chances for his team, the 2nd half did not flow like the 1st half had and Welfare had some chances themselves and to be honest right up to Town scoring their 2nd goal, the game could easily have ended 1-1, as Welfare were getting more and more into the game, Welfare were 2nd best throughout the game but just like Scarborough Athletic have done so many times this season, Town just lacked that final killer punch and it could have cost them dearly tonight, but Town remained solid and fully deserved their 2-0 victory.
