Lydney Town 2
BRIMSCOMBE made it back-to-back Hellenic Premier Division wins as their stunning start to the season continued.
Earlier, Lydney nosed ahead on two minutes when Jarred Liddington strike was deflected past Steve Sparrow.
Nonetheless, Sam Prior’s side found parity when Ben Deakin teed-up Ollie Pitt, who slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
A Chris Greenough header saw the Lilywhites take the lead on 13 minutes and striker Joey Tustain added the third after the break from a Deakin assist.
Lydney closed the deficit as Liddington bagged his second on 57 minutes.
However, Deakin eased the nerves with a curled shot into the bottom right - hand corner.
