NEW ERA, BOLD PLANS

Brigg Town Cricket Club players and officials are looking forward to a new era in 2008. Things will be very different for them this summer, having put two teams into the East Yorkshire Alliance for the first time, and said farewell to the Lincoln League and the Grimsby League.
That's a big change in Saturday cricket, as the East Yorkshire Alliance (with one exception) is for teams on the North Bank of the Humber, chiefly in the Hull area.
BTCC describes this 'a bold move but one which is hoped to improve the standard of opposition and therefore our own standards'.
In another groundbreaking move, Brigg have entered the West Wold Evening League for the first time 'bringing back midweek cricket which can be an important tool in getting practice for the weekend fixtures'.
It is also hoped to field an under-11 team in the northern Lincolnshire competition 'which will hopefully provide us with a crop of talented seniors in the future'.
Everyone connected with BTCC is being asked to 'give a concerted effort this year to improve the club and support the captains and officials in this New Era'.
There will be a club meeting at Scanlon's (Nelthorpe Arms, Bridge Street) on Sunday, January 27 at 6pm.
Members are being urged to attend 'to enable us to address any issues arising from the AGM and help us plan ahead for the forthcoming season'.
