Twice previous winners of the FA Vase, Brigg Town Football Club bowed out in the first qualifying round of the 2020/21 competition, going down 3-2 when hosting Winterton Rangers at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) yesterday (Saturday, September 19). This local derby attracted a sizeable crowd.
Winterton went ahead after 35 minutes but Jamie Osbourne soon levelled.
On 38 minutes the visitors took a 2-1 lead, only for Andy Taylor to come up with an equaliser.

Winterton now meet New Mills in the next round.
Brigg Town: Birch, Bowskin, Lowis, McCarron, Heward, Smithson, Reed, M. Pembleton, Taylor, Osbourne, Graves; subs, Tierney, Shaw, Moody, J. Pembleton, Mascall.
