BRIGG TOWN  3  GILBERDYKE PHOENIX  2

Leaders Gilberdyke Phoenix in their first game of 2026 traveled over to Lincolnshire to take on Brigg Town. Two good footballing sides produced an excellent game which could have gone either way. Will Hartley put Brigg ahead on twenty minutes but Liam Bell had Phoenix back on level terms at half time. Stuart Longbone restored the lead for Brigg before Bell once more equalised for the visitors. What turned out to be the winning goal went the way of the home side twenty minutes from time from Chris Thornton and despite constant late pressure from Gilberdyke their unbeaten record went but they remain top of the table.
