Thursday night's annual meeting of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League saw Brigg Town Cricket Club's first team duly voted back into the 'big boys' league.
They had to leave (briefly) for pastures new after the Recreation Ground failed to meet the standard expected by the Lincolnshire League. However, improvements have since been made - and the league inspectors last month 'passed' the Rec as being satisfactory.
So Brigg's first team will be back in Lincs League division four next season, while the 2nds will remain in the East Yorkshire Alliance, playing teams from the North Bank.
It really is great to see Brigg's return to the county's biggest competition, which can boast 50 teams playing in five divisions. Brigg Town CC first joined the Lincolnshire League back in 1976, and has had several periods away since then.
Let's hope they are now back to stay. And, in due course, maybe the second team will also gain admission to the Lincs League.
The club has always been at its strongest with two Lincs League teams.
