HOWDEN  3  GREAT DRIFFIELD B   4

Howden hosted a Great Driffield B side still looking for its first points and indeed their first goal of the season. The home side struggled to get anything going in a disappointing first half which saw Driffield deservedly 2-0 up at half time. Carl Woodbridge got Howden back in the game but the visitors soon restored their two goal advantage when some poor defending from a corner led to a third for Driffield. Soon after it was 4-1 before Craig Wilson and then a superb strike from Woodbridge brought the score to 4-3 but Driffield held out for a deserved win. Driffield scorers were Hugh Broughton 2, Scott Hosey and Martin Terry.

 

HOWDEN  1   BRIGG TOWN   6

Howden in their opening home game of the season faced a Brigg Town side who were playing their first game of the campaign. Brigg raced into a three goal lead in the first fifteen minutes with all three goals scored by Chris Thornton. The game began to even up and Howden managed to pull a goal back through Craig Wilson but Zaheer Haque soon restored their three goal lead. In the second half the visitors added two further goals with Thornton getting his fourth of the game and a Dan Greaves penalty. Despite the scoreline being emphatic it wasn`t the one sided affair suggested as the Brigg keeper had to make some decent saves along with his Howden counterpart.
