While a former Brigg cricketer was compiling a century, elsewhere in the Mick Walker North Lindsey League there was a very unusual match-winning margin in a game involving Broughton.
In Mick Walker Trophy Group C on Sunday (May 29), Outcasts made a splendid start at Broughton 3rds, reaching 88 without loss after 18 overs.
However, heavy rain led to an abandonment and consequently a bowl-out at the unguarded stumps - the cricketing equivalent of football's penalty shoot-out.
This produced a soccer-like score, 1-0, as Broughton's Lewis Parker was the only player to dislodge the bails.
His side now need a point against Normanby Park on June 19 to win their group and progress further in the competition.
Ex-Brigg strokemaker Dale Coy (pictured top left) hit a century for Messingham on Sunday in the Mick Walker Trophy.
He cracked an unbeaten 110 against Hibaldstow - another of his former clubs.
Thanks to Dale's knock and 68 from Joshua Joy, Messingham scored a highly impressive 211 without loss.
They then restricted home side Hibaldstow 2nds to 142 for six, Lee Robinson top scoring with 69 and Manej Subramaniam scoring 33.
Sunday's result means the game between Messingham and Scunthorpe Town 4ths on June 19 will determine who tops the table in Group B.
Meanwhile, in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League's Supplementary Cup, details of the semi-finals have been announced, following the completion of the qualifying groups at the weekend.
Although Brigg Town have not made it through to the knockout stage, Broughton 2nds have and will host cup-holders Barton Town 2nds on Saturday, June 25.
The other semi will be Outcasts 2nds v Caistor 2nds on June 18.
