ADRIAN GIBBONS FOOTBALL MATCH IN BRIGG PUT BACK
The annual charity football match held in memory of highly respected Brigg teacher Adrian Gibbons will now take place in late December.
It has been held for some years at the Hawthorns ground - by kind permission of Brigg Town Football Club - in late April or early May.
However, in view of the current Coronavirus emergency lockdown, this year's has been retimed and will be played on the date earmarked for the post-Christmas Sir John Nelthorpe School 'Old Boys' reunion match.
Adrian played football for a number of local teams over many years, including Brigg Town and Briggensians, and was also well-known as a quizmaster. He died in 2014, aged 63.
