GOOD DISPLAYS BY BRIGG & BARNETBY FOOTBALLERS


Brigg Town Football Club turned in a fine performance to draw 1-1 at home to Campion in a ToolStation Northern Counties East First Division game at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) yesterday (Saturday, January 4).
That point leaves the Zebras in 14th spot, while Campion, from Bradford, are third in a table comprising 20 teams.
The visitors took an early lead but Reece Moody equalised after 34 minutes.
Boosted by some visiting fans, the attendance was 154 - fourth highest in yesterday's 10-game programme in this division.
Mid-table Brigg Town Reserves lost 2-0 away to second-placed Gainsborough Trinity Reserves in the Balcan Lighting Supplies Lincolnshire League Premier yesterday.
In the the EC Surfacing Ltd Scunthorpe & District Football League, Division One leaders Barnetby United won 3-0 when hosting bottom side College Wanderers - the scorers being Brendan O’Callaghan, Greg Brackenbury and Will Forest.

Barnetby United Reserves are third in Division Two following yesterday's 1-0 victory at Epworth Town Colts Development. The deadlock was broken by Martin Lestak.

Railwaymen maintain 100% start

Barnetby kept up their perfect start to their league campaign with a 3-0 home victory over College Wanderers.
It wasn’t plain sailing for the first half hour as Barnetby were second best and clearly suffering a Christmas hangover. They battled through though and when O’Callaghans jinking run was ended abruptly in the College box he dusted himself down and duly slotted home his 13th goal of the season from the spot.
This spurred Barnetby into life and moments later Will Forrest burst into the College box and his centre was tapped in at the far post by Greg Brackenbury and from hanging on in the game they now led 2-0.
Half time came with the score at 2-0 and, in the second period, Will Hartley volleyed home from a superb Andy Bradley cross but the goal was adjudged offside. At the other end a superb one-handed save from Elliot Gunn in the Railwaymen’s goal kept the scoreline the same.
Finally, Barnetby got their 3rd when a sublime flick from Will Hartley sent Will Forrest clear and he made no mistake to fire home his 7th of the season as Barnetby made it 6 wins from 6 in the league.

Anyone know why Brigg Town, Grimsby Town and Barnetby all seem to play in black and white stripes, black shorts and red socks? Is it coincidence?
