Brighouse clinch safety
Adam Field gave them the lead after 30 minutes at the Yorkshire Payments Stadium. The ball was whipped back in following a corner and headed down by Aaron Martin to Field, who knocked it under the keeper.
Martin also had a hand in the clinching goal with 12 minutes left, flicking the ball on for substitute Danny Naidole, who struck it into the bottom corner.
