Dunston are back on the road for the first time in October, travelling to a familiar opponent in Brighouse Town.

Last Meeting

Dunston UTS 4-1 Brighouse Town (Isuzu FA Trophy 1QR - 6th September 2025)

Jon McDonald's side progressed in the Isuzu FA Trophy with a resounding 4-1 win against Brighouse Town in September. Tom Devitt opened the scoring early on after flicking a Wil Shaw corner into the bottom right corner, before the visitors equalised through Harvey Booth tapped in a squared ball from Rhys Plater. Josh Donaldson quickly had Dunston back ahead before half-time, as he smashed home a poke across goal from Harvey Neary before scoring a great solo goal to go into the interval two goals ahead. The new summer signing grabbed his hat-trick on seventy-three minutes, after finishing off a fantastic team goal involving Liam Thear, Sado Djalo & Wil Shaw.
