Brighouse Town extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a 1-1 draw at home to Bridlington Town.
Bridlington had goalkeeper Jonathan Dash to thank for their valuable point as he pulled off some superb saves especially after Grant Black’s boys had gone 1-0 up in the 42nd minute.
An audacious lob on goal from Romario Dunne had Dash scrambling to try and keep the ball out but on this occasion he was well beaten.
Skipper Harvey Booth had put a great ball through to split the Bridlington defence wide open.
Dash, who took the Bridlington man of the match award, saved on the line from a Nathan Curtis header and parried a Youssef Chentouf shot wide of his near post for a corner.
The visitors on the ball had been a strong force in midfield and down the flanks in the first half and a goal disallowed on 31 minutes when Jake Day was caught off side.
Bridlington started the second half very strongly and it was Town’s custodian Michael Acquah who then saw plenty of action.
It was real cut and thrust in the second half as Town held onto their lead and the Seasiders went all out to find a leveller for caretaker-player manager Michael Coulson.
Chentouf on two occasions brought out the best of Dash and Ferdy Annor  and Kane Richardson were in great form to keep taking the game to their visitors.
With five minutes of added time announced Town were looking going into the last minute as they were holding onto their lead for all three points until the referee gave a free kick for hand ball.
Dash launched the ball into the box and the tall centre half Tom Allan got his head to it to beat Acquah and make it 1-1.
Town’s assistant player-coach Danny Frost said after the game:” we had our chances and the end result to some extent feels like a defeat.
“However we go unbeaten once more and against a good side and on the positive side it’s another valuable point.”
Town have a coach going to Ashington on Saturday which will leave the Dusty Miller at 10.45.
Good news on the injury front, striker Rhys Plater has resumed training this week and hopes to be available for selection by the second week of December.
Town’s re-arranged home game with Redcar Athletic will take place next Wednesday,December 3 (7.45) and on Wednesday.December 10 (7.00) Town will once more play host to FC Halifax Town’s U19 side on their FA Youth Cup run against Colchester United.
