Cup final man of the match James Hitchcock insisted Bridlington Town’s win at the KCom Stadium was a team effort.
The goalkeeper made a stunning save in each half to deny North Ferriby frontman Wayne Brooksby, as the underdogs won 1-0 in the East Riding Senior Cup final.
“The first one was a decent save, the second one was a free kick which bounced right in front of me and I thought I did well to keep that one out,” Hitchcock said.
“The whole team played well and Jenks and Ryan (defenders Chris Jenkinson and Ryan Nicholls) did a great job in front of me, like they have done all season.
Hitchcock was part of last year’s winning team, when Bridlington beat Hull United 4-1, but he said Wednesday night’s success was a bigger achievement.
“Last night topped last year,” he said. “The opposition were better and the game was closer. From the first minute to the last minute, we had to be on our toes and I don’t think there ws a single lapse in concentration from anybody.
With two East Riding Senior Cup winners medals in his collection, the keeper is keen to go one step further in 2017.
“With the squad we have, we can push for the league title next season,” Hitchcock added.
