VERY OLD FRIENDS - BRIGG TOWN FC AND SHEFFIELD - GO HEAD TO HEAD AT HAWTHORNS

Brigg Town FC host Sheffield FC at the Hawthorns tomorrow afternoon - a meeting of Lincolnshire's oldest team and the world's oldest. Will the young upstarts from Brigg put one over on the steel city visitors? 
If they were meeting in the 1860s, the visitors could have arrived on the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway mainline. However, tomorrow we expect the Sheffield team will come by bus - despite there being a surviving Saturday service to our station!
