BARNETBY AND BRIGGENSIANS IN CLOSELY-FOUGHT BRIGG AREA FOOTBALL DERBY

There was an entertaining Brigg area  derby in the EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District Football League yesterday (Saturday, October 28).
Barnetby United, from division one, beat second division Briggensians 1-0 in the first round of the Johnstone Insurance Nursing Cup.
Joe Scott netted for the villagers in what Barnetby's Lee Fielden called a very close and hard-fought derby.
Lee, the former Brigg Town cricketer, has kindly supplied these action pictures from the village's Silver Street ground.
Briggensians are wearing blue shirts and Barnetby their familiar black and white strip.
On Saturday, November 4 second-placed Briggensians visit lowly Epworth Town Reserves in division two, while Barnetby United Reserves  have a home fixture against Crosby Colts.
Both these games kick off at 2pm.
