BUSY WEEKEND IN BRIGG FOR SPORTS FANS & PLAYERS


Having taken a good away point at Rossington in their last outing in the Toolstation Northern Counties East League First Division, historic Brigg Town FC - founded way back in 1864 - host Retford United at the Hawthorns this Saturday (September 30), kicking off at 3pm.
Brigg and Retford are both in the lower reaches of the table so this is a real six-pointer.

As it's possible to get a direct train from North Nottinghamshire to Brigg on Saturdays, we will be interested to see how many Retford fans choose that form of transport to pay us a visit.
Looking at the train times, they will have time to look round the town, if they wish.
In the EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District  League, Briggensians will be playing Keadby WMC in round one of the Tortank Barton Brotherhood Cup.
That tie kicks off at 2.30pm at Sir John Nelthorpe School.
In the same competition, Barnetby United Reserves  visit New Holland Villa.
Saturday, September 30 sees Barnetby United hosting Shape Changers at the Silver Street ground in round one of the Carousel Hospital Cup (2.30pm).

There will also be Brigg hockey matches to watch on the "Blue Astro" at the town's Recreation Ground at various times on Saturday afternoon.
If you are going to the nearby Hawthorns, why not take a look at the hockey on your way?
