In some ways it will be the match of the season for Brigg Town Cricket Club tomorrow when the first teamers entertain East Halton at the Recreation Ground, off Wrawby Road (1.30pm).
For East Halton are the only other Northern Lincolnshire club in East Yorkshire Alliance division three, which Brigg have joined this season. All the other sides hail from the North Bank of the Humber, chiefly being based in and around Hull.
Brigg used to play East Halton in the Lincolnshire League (in the late 1970s) and later in the Humberside Alliance.
There were some great contests against East Halton for the Brigg team, which included David Foster, the Hunt brothers (Graham, Keith and Martin), Allan Kemshall, Pete Kerridge, Bob Elwood, Dave Robinson, Nick Good, Neil Marland (and 'yours truly!)
In one famous match away to East Halton, in September 1975, Roy Hunt (dad), in his final season aged about 50, played alongside his three sons in the same team.
Spectators will be very welcome at 'The Rec' tomorrow.
