Brigg Blog's recent post about a real decline in the amount of football now being played over the Christmas period was supported by events on Saturday (December 29).
There was only one scheduled game in the entire EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District Football League, but it didn't take place.
Hibaldstow Wanderers found they were unable to field a team for the division two home fixture with Sherpa, which had to be postponed.
Hopefully, things will return to normal this Saturday (January 5) when all games kick off at 2pm.
A full fixture list is planned, with three sides from Brigg and district in action.
In division one, Briggensians visit College Wanderers while Barnetby United will be away to bottom-placed Crosby Colts.
Division two provides a Brigg area local derby between unbeaten leaders Barnetby United Reserves and Hibaldstow Wanderers at Silver Street.
Brigg Town FC return to duty on Saturday, January 5 with a Lincolnshire Junior Cup quarter-final against Scunthorpe side Appleby-Frodingham.
Brigg will visit Immingham Town on January 12 and the next home league match at The Hawthorns is not until Saturday, January 19 when Lincoln team Ruston Sports provide the opposition.
Brigg are second in the Balcan Lighting Supplies Lincolnshire League but have two games in hand on leaders Gainsborough Trinity Reserves.
