Brighouse Town bowed out of the 2025-26 Emirates FA Cup in south west Manchester last Saturday, going down 1-0 to West Didsbury & Chorlton.
Town were solid in defence but lack ideas in attack, especially in the first half
There was more chance of a goal or two in the second half after the introduction of Rhys Plater. However his teammates did not latch on to crosses and it was the home side who snatched the tie with some eight minutes to go
Substitute Patrick Devin, all 6ft 9 inches of him, headed home from a corner to beat keeper Michael Acquah who had been in fine form all afternoon when tested.
Town switched centre half Harvey Booth up front and both he and Plater tested the home side as they
Looked for an equaliser.
It was not to be and the club now have to look forward to the FA Trophy in September.
Town played in front of a 743 crowd and took quite a few to the game themselves
Last week they lost 2-1 away to Newton Aycliffe but came away feeling very aggrieved that they didn’t score an equaliser
They led after two
Minutes through Danny Edwards and kept that score line until half time. After 54 minutes the Durham side levelled and then 10 minutes later took the lead
However as the game drew towards a close, Towns Harvey Booth headed into the net but he keeper scooped the ball out. However the ball had gone at least a metre into net and the Town players supporters were incensed
Towns assistant manager Ricky Ravenhill as a result was sent off
Last night Town were at home to North Ferriby and then Saturday they travel to Ossett (3pm) and on Bank Holiday Monday they entertain League newcomers Silsden (3pm).
