All three goals were scored within 14 minutes of each other, with Harry Scarborough and Harry Benns both getting on the scoresheet before Adam Dodd's deflected effort off Workington's Steven Rigg went in.

It was the visitors who had the first opening of the match, winger David Symington firing an angled effort narrowly wide of the post on three minutes.

Brig then had their first clear-cut opening on 14 minutes, Danny Forbes firing a long distance effort over the bar after Michael Potts' cutback.

Then, on 17 minutes, Benns clipped a through ball over the Workington defence towards Danny Edwards, who controlled it before forcing a fine save out of visiting stopper James Atkinson.

The goal would come eight minutes later - and Benns was again involved heavily. He received the ball in midfield before playing an inch-perfect through ball to Scarborough, who ran on to it and slotted his right-footed effort into the opposite corner from 12 yards.

Brig would continue to pile on the pressure, and Potts was only denied a superb 25-yard curling strike by the outstretched fingertips of Atkinson.

But the visitors retained a threat of their own, and Kofi Moore got in behind only to see his six-yard shot well saved by James Pradic in the Brig goal.

Goal number two for the hosts arrived on 37 minutes, with Benns showing quick feet inside the area to work the ball onto his right foot before curling it into the opposite corner.

And the Brig faithful didn't have to wait long for a third goal. Dodd's corner struck defender Rigg before going into the back of the net on 39 minutes to extend the advantage.

Workington tried to respond in the second half, with Pradic doing well to close down the onrushing Moore and block the forward's shot.

Scarborough then almost grabbed his second on 68 minutes, forcing a good save out of Atkinson.

Brig had late opportunities to score a fourth goal, with substitute Mark Cullen narrowly unable to lift his chip over the goalkeeper, but Jamie Milligan's side saw out the remainder of the game to secure victory and a second home clean sheet in three games.

The win moves Brig up to 10th place in the Northern Premier League Premier Division table, with nine points from six games played.
