Brigg Town Cricket Club's final home match of the 2022 season saw them well beaten by leaders Barton Town 2nds at the Recreation Ground yesterday (Saturday, August 27).
However, Brigg gained three welcome bonus points to put a bit more distance between them and bottom side Caistor 2nds in Lincolnshire League Division Three West.
Barton posted 177 for seven in their permitted 45 overs - experienced batsman Jeremy Evans leading the way with an unbeaten 73.
Nick Beacock did well with the ball for Brigg, taking three for 31, while club newcomer Henry James claimed two for 14.
Taking seven wickets brought Brigg their bonus points.
Following mid-match refreshments at Brigg Town FC's nearby Hawthorns clubhouse, Brigg began their reply but lost early wickets and were finally dismissed for 66 (Nick Beacock top scoring with 19).
Now playing for Barton, former Brigg opening bowler Tom Brock returned very tidy figures of two for 11 from nine overs - six of which were maidens.
Brigg now have two away games to complete their programme - one being against Caistor 2nds.
