Sheldon Green and Jake Higham combined to set up Ryan White whose deflected effort found the bottom corner.

Brig’s celebrations had barely died down when they were behind again courtesy of an own goal by Macauley Wilson.

Both sides had a number of chances early in the second half but the hosts sealed the victory 14 minutes from time when Wilson and goalkeeper Mateusz Hewelt got in a mix-up and Gumbs was on hand to sidefoot into an empty net .
