BRIGG TOWN EXTEND THEIR LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE TABLE

Brigg Town extended their lead at the top of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League fourth division with a  61-run victory at third-in-the-table Haxey 2nds yesterday (Saturday, June 23).
Skipper Nigel Beacock, pictured above, led the way with 65 as Town totalled 195 before being bowled out with five balls remaining in the final over of the permitted 45.
There were other useful contributions with the bat from Matthew Bell (37) and Mark Dawson (30).

Brigg went on to bowl their Isle of Axholme hosts out for 134, in the 40th over, left-armer Phil Dewfall  pictured below, grabbing five for 24.
Town took the maximum 20 points from this victory, while second-placed East Halton had to be content with 16 from their win over Scunthorpe Town 3rds who play at Hibaldstow.
Brigg have another away game coming up on Saturday (June 30) when they journey to bottom-placed Keelby 2nds.
