to ease pressure on the NHS Bridlington Town played out their final NPL East game of the season with a 2-0 defeat to play-off contenders Belper Town.  Head Coach Mike Thompson made only one change to his starting eleven replacing Benn Lewis for Bobby Attree.  Bridlington were slow to get into the match and it was the visitors who had the first opportunity of the match, when Louis Keenan fired in a corner close to the goal line of which Bolton Makwedze cleared away.  The Seasiders appealed for a handball in the penalty area from a Belper defender However, once again it was Belper Town to open the scoring from a Jack Broadhead free kick and Ioan Evans headed the ball into the back of the Seasiders net.  Belper Town were starting to take charge of the game when Broadhead whipped in a cross to Kevin Bastos but his header went straight into Jack Hall’s gloves The Seasiders needed to be patient for their first chance but his cross to Leverett was deflected for a corner.  The bisitors started the second-half hungry to extend their lead, in which they did so when substitute Jack Watson made it 2-0 from the edge of the box Moments later any chance of a comeback by the seasiders took a huge blow as Simon Heslop was shown his 2nd Yellow card of the afternoon Belper attacked once more through Jaanai Gordon who fired in a low-driven shot from inside the penalty area wide of the post.  Thompson made his first substitution of the game replacing Sam Leverett for Nathan Dyer.  With an instant impact on entering the field Dyer’s free kick was met by Tom Allan who headed the ball to Earl who saw his shot just wide of the post As Thompson Rang the changes to his side local lad Billy Ripley replaced Michael Coulson.  Jack Hall denied a Watson counterattack for a corner, then Dyer’s shot from an Ahmed Salam pass was scuffed over the bar.  With the game entering its closing stages, Thompson made a double substitution when Ryan Bemrose replaced Sam Kay and keeper Jack Hall off for Ben Voase.  And it wasn’t long before Voase was called into action when Gordon caught the Seasiders on the break, a diving Voase sent the ball to go for a corner.  Manager Mike Thompson had to say this after the match: “It was difficult to replicate the euphoria I think of Monday that we didn’t want to be the team wearing flip flops we also asked them to put their energy into it to make sure that it was a contest.” Despite this result Bridlington Town finish the season 18th in the NPL East XFASTINDEX Henry Brothers Construction is building a new £15m community health centre in

Derbyshire to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Co-op and Welsh textile manufacturer social reformer and a founder of the co-operative movement Robert Owen In 1817 Robert Owen formulated the goal of an eight hour working day with the slogan: “eight hours labour eight hours rest.” And this is where the clock design was born The concept was to have a 24 hour dial around the outside of the clock feature broken up to show the eight hour day splits Behind this would be two panels rotating in opposing directions with artwork depicting Robert Owen only becoming clear as they align on the hour Timber patterns and moulds were produced by our in-house pattern maker off which GRP bezel elements were produced The dials were produced using our in-house laser cutter Production and assembly of this bespoke clock took time as there were many elements to it bespoke three hand movement and controllers to keep everything in synch This exciting project culminated in Good Directions installing the clock with much interest from staff and local residence The clock was unveiled during a celebration including local school bands and is hoped to be a continual reminder to all that there should be a good work-life balance for all as well as being a celebration of a true visionary who helped shape our modern lives Good Directions Group of Companies - Made in Britain Join Britain's best
