BRIGG TOWN FC 'VETS' IN TOP-OF-THE-TABLE CLASH


Player Shaun Roper has been in touch so we can update football fans about Brigg Town FC's most senior side.
The club is fielding a team in Hull & District Veterans' League Division Four this season.
Tomorrow (Sunday, November 28) Shaun and the boys (?) have a scheduled trip over the Humber Bridge to take on Hull side Springhead Highway in their next fixture, kicking off at 2pm.
This is a vital game. Brigg currently top the table with four wins and a draw from six games, while Springhead are second. Only 'goals scored' divides the teams; they have 13 points apiece and identical goal differences, although unbeaten Springhead have a game in hand.
Brigg's last league encounter was on November 14 when they won 6-3 at home to Priory A (from Anlaby).
The EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) is the Vets' home base.
Shaun Roper and Mark Smith are the team contacts, and Brigg are the only south bank team in Division Four.
This impressive veterans' league was established 20 years ago.
