Senior men's football returned to Brigg Recreation Ground this afternoon.
However, it was due to a Scunthorpe club's facilities being unavailable - not because some more Saturday sides have been formed in Brigg.
One of the matches involved Brigg-based Briggensians (based at Sir John Nelthorpe School), who made the short trip across town for their 'away' fixture against opponents who had travelled much further for their home game!
As we've said before in Brigg Blog, it's a shame our two senior Rec pitches usually stand idle, week after week.
Youth football seems to be thriving in the Scunthorpe area, but where will all these teenagers find a game at men's level, when they get a bit older?
STOP PRESS: Just received a text message with a bit more information about the matches going on at the Rec - AFC Brumby v Coningsby, Lincs Junior Cup, and Brumby Reserves v Briggensians. Rec being used owing to Scunthorpe pitches being unfit.
See next Tuesday's Brigg Extra page in the Scunthorpe Telegraph for some exciting news about the future of our municipal sportsground. Especially if you are interested in football, hockey or netball.
