NEW CHALLENGE FOR BRIGG TOWN CRICKET CLUB

Brigg Town Cricket Club will face a fresh challenge in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League (sponsored by Readers)  during the 2018 season, starting in May.
The league has introduced a new cup competition, in which Brigg Town and Broughton 2nds will be taking part.
Rather than playing 45 overs an innings, teams in the new Supplementary Cup will be involved in much shorter matches - 30 overs a team, with no traditional tea being taken between innings - only a quick drink and maybe a biscuit or two.
There will also be a later (2pm) start to matches.
Early games will be on a 'round robin' league basis, with the winners of the four groups meeting in the semi-finals. 
Brigg and Broughton 2nds have been drawn together in Group C alongside Barton Town 2nds and Alkborough 2nds.
This cup is experimental and the league will see how it goes before deciding whether to continue it during 2019 and beyond.
Brigg Town will be back playing at the Recreation Ground, off Wrawby Road,  this season now improvements have been completed - on and off the field.
