Adams heads Brid to Bramall Lane

Toolstation NCEL League Cup

Bridlington Town 1-0 AFC Emley

Chris Adams scored the winner to send Bridlington to Bramall Lane

Chris Adams guided Bridlington Town to Bramall Lane with a late goal to down brave AFC Emley.

The tight semi-final tie could have gone either way in the last 20 minutes when Adams struck to book a clash with Penistone Church in mid-May.

Both sides had chances – notably Bridlington’s Jake Day, who raced clear and was denied by goalkeeper Graham McLachlan.

The deadlock was eventually broken by Adams’ header at the back-post – which proved to be the winner.
