BRIGG TOWN FC LOOKING FOR HAT-TRICK OF WINS TOMORROW BUT DO YOU REMEMBER THIS LINCOLNSHIRE DERBY?

 

Brigg Town FC will be hoping to keep the revival going when hosting mid-table Ollerton Town at the Hawthorns tomorrow (Saturday, January 20).
The Zebras have won their last two games in the ToolStation Northern Counties East First Division, and victory tomorrow will greatly improve their chances of avoiding the relegation zone come the end of the season.
Kick-off tomorrow is 3pm and the clubhouse will be open for those in need of refreshment!
Ollerton is a town near Newark in North Nottinghamshire, once well-known for coal mining.
Brigg can expect a sizeable crowd tomorrow  - weather permitting.
To bring back some memories, we've dipped into our archives to find pictures from a well-attended January match of the past - a Lincolnshire derby.
Brigg played Grantham Town during January 2012 in the Evo-Stik League Division One South.
Leaders Grantham won 3-2, the Zebras then being in 14th spot (mid-table).
Brigg's players on duty six years ago are wearing the familiar black and white strip.
Brigg Town: Tom Woodhead, Connor Marshall, Oliver Fisher, Chris Dickman, Matthew Plant (captain), Lawrence Heward, Liam Davis, Jordan Cooper, Ryan Paczkowski, David Ricardo, Liam Dickens; subs, Joseph Clement, Jon Wilkinson, Steven Cannon, Gregg Archer, Ryan Musselwhite (keeper).
Grantham: Murray, Purcicoe, Potts, Brindley, Saunders, Watt, Lewis, Ball, Paul Grimes,  Saunders (captain), Carchedi; subs, Battgersby, Cann, D Maghee, J Maghee, Melton.
Referee: Mr N Guest.





Who ate one our our pies? Ki Brown serving a hungry visiting Grantham spectator.
