Brighouse beaten on east coast
Brighouse Town were unable to banish their relegation fears in Evo-Stik North yesterday when they lost 4-0 away to Scarborough Athletic on the east coast.
Although buoyed by a 1-0 home win over Mossley on Monday, they were no match for hosts who went second in the table.
Vill Powell’s men fell behind to a 13th minute Michael Coulson goal. Coulson added a second from the penalty spot on 62 minutes and James Walshaw and Jorome Slew added to the home tally in the last 10 minutes.
