Brigg Town Football Club's initial pre-season friendly produced a 4-3 victory over Grimsby Borough at the EC Surfacing Stadium yesterday afternoon (Saturday, June 26).
Many spectators stayed at the ground to watch big screen coverage of Wales v Denmark in the Euro 2020 'round of 16'.
The Hawthorns clubhouse bar was open, together with Pips Kitchen serving snacks and meals, and the popular children's play area.
In the Lincolnshire County Cricket League yesterday, there was a disappointing result for Broughton who are chasing promotion from Division One. They were bowled out for 137 when visiting Outcasts (near Crowle), losing by six wickets and securing only two bonus points. Robbie Glentworth top scored for Broughton with 33, while Sean Clixby bowled well to take three wickets for 39 in his 10 overs.
Also in Division One, Hibaldstow lost at Louth 2nds. Having done well to limit their hosts to 140 for five in 45 overs, Hibaldstow were dismissed for 62 (Josh Thomas scoring 22). Our local side secured two bonus bowling points.
Broughton 2nds were without a fixture in Division Two, while Brigg Town had a blank Saturday in Division Three - instead hosting a benefit match at the Recreation Ground for former player Gary 'Bottler' Smith.
