Three goals were enough to see a Northern Counties East League Division One side sail past a league-above opposition for their 11th game without a loss.

Worsborough Bridge showed intent from quite literally the first minute after Lloyd Smith put them one up over Wombwell Town before 60 seconds.

The Briggers scored again through Juninho Blake just before half-time, before Smith grabbed his second with eight minutes to go.

Mark Booth, the chairman of Worsborough Bridge saw on the night just how well his team played.

Mr Booth said: “It showed just how strong and competitive the squad is, every player in the squad is capable of putting in a performance that is a match for most teams.”

Going 11 games unbeaten is no mean feat, and the team from S70 have worked hard throughout the season to keep this impressive streak going.

As chairman, it is Mr Booth’s job to make sure the team has everything they need to perform at such a high standard, and when the fruits of his labour pay off, it is a sight to see.

The team is determined to not let this form slip away, and Mr Booth can see this attitude among his players.

He said: “It is a fantastic achievement and this group is so hungry for more.”

The Brigger’s determination was spurred on after Wombwell were down to 10 men just 20 minutes in after Jack Dando caught the back of Keelan Grist’s neck with a horrific high boot.

Worsborough Bridge’s next game comes against mid-table Louth Town, who sit 24 points behind the Briggers with almost half the season played.

In non-league football anything can happen, and no team should be underestimated.

Mr Booth knows that the opposition could possibly cause an upset, and the team will have to be on top to get another result.

He said: “Any team on any day is capable of winning in this league so we have to prepare well, show the right attitude and do the right things on the day.”

With half the season still to be played, Worsborough Bridge sit third in the table, and are well within a chance of a promotion push.

The team will have to continue this fine run, with Mr Booth reminding the team that “there will be ups and downs along the way, we just need to stay united, stick together and keep taking every game as it comes”.
