Jagger Left Frustrated As Beverley Town Crash Out Of Fish & Chip Cup

Beverley Town Football Club suffered another defeat as they were knocked out of the Whiteheads Fish and Chip Cup by Bridlington Town.

Despite playing well, Town’s manager Rich Jagger was left feeling frustrated as his side were yet again unable to take their chances.

Commenting on the match a frustrated Jagger said;

“Again we played well but didn’t convert chances and conceded two poor goals.”

“We have got to keep our heads up because we are playing some good stuff, and I think it’s only a matter of time before things click.”

“I was pleased to see Eric Gardham come in from the reserves and have a good game, and Karl Fitzgerald did well on his debut too.”

Beverley were two down inside 30 minutes as Ashley Robinson and James Faulkner scored for Bridlington.

Joe Norton pulled one back though Beverley were not able to convert their chances and get the all important equaliser.

With time running out in the match Beverley had the chance to get back on terms but again they failed to take the chances.

Another blow for Beverley is the news that they are set to lose a key player, however Jagger is trying to remain positive focusing on the opportunities it will give others to play, he said;

“Unfortunately we are losing Craig Muirhead who has signed for Barton in Northern Counties Premier League.”

However Matty Littlefield is getting fitter every week and Alex Stark should be back next week, and these two have a great opportunity to lead the line over the next few weeks.”

This weekend Beverley Town face East Riding Rangers who are currently bottom of the Humber Premier League with just three points.

Jagger will be looking to his side to bounce back from the cup exploits in game his side should be looking to win.

Beverley themselves have slipped to tenth spot in the league and are just five points off the relegation zone.
