CHRISTMAS CHEER FOR BRIGG TOWN FC

Many of us are delighted to see fortunes picking up for Brigg Town Football Club after a spell in the doldrums.
On Saturday (Boxing Day) they won 2-1 in the Toolstation Northern Counties East Premier Division derby against Barton Town Old Boys at The Hawthorns.
The crowd doubled to 212, which brought some welcome extra cash through the turnstiles, plus added business behind the bar.
Incidentally, Barton's goal was scored by Jacob Cawsey. A proud moment, no doubt, for Ian, the former Brigg & Goole MP.
Elliott Broughton and James Wroot netted for the Zebras, the latter's winner coming seven minutes from time.
Brigg have now moved up to third from bottom spot. On this form they will stave off the threat of relegation. 
The Zebras visit mid-table Athersley Recreation on Saturday, January 2.
The next first team fixture at The Hawthorns will be on Saturday, January 9 when Parkgate are the visitors (3pm KO). Parkgate are a place below the Zebras so this clash will be a real six-pointer.
