Phantoms did grow into the game late on though and got their reward when Matt Hopgood went over and David Yems converted.
This served only to fire Brightlingsea into action and they proceeded to score a number of broken field tries to earn a massive win.
Skipper Yems said: "It was a difficult game with a much-changed team and I think in many ways that was the difference.
"Our defence has been a feature of our play this season and today it wasn't up to scratch, we go back to the drawing board in training.
