Brigg Town Football Club suffered a disappointing 5-0 home defeat to Hallam in the Tool Station Northern Counties East First Division before a crowd of 118 yesterday (Saturday, September 28).
The game was pretty much over at half-time with the visitors already four goals to the good.
One interesting feature of this match was the use of the 'sin bin' which we gather is being trialled in the league this season. The referee sent one of the players to the sidelines to serve a spell off the field before returning to the action.
This result sees the Zebras in fourth-from-bottom spot in the rankings after eight league fixtures.
Brigg had exited the League Cup on Wednesday (September 25) with a 2-1 first round defeat against Campion at the EC Surfacing Ltd Stadium (The Hawthorns). Tom Wilson scored the Brigg goal and the attendance was 105.
In the EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District Football League yesterday, Barnetby United beat Briggenians 2-1 in the T.S.W. Printers Sporting Shield first round.
