Brigg Town cricketers will be rubbing shoulders with a famous international player tonight.
A group of players from the local club will be attending the annual dinner of the Lincolnshire League and the Grimsby and District League, held at Grimsby Town Football Club's Blundell Park HQ.
Brigg second teamers won the Grimsby Saturday League Knockout Cup last summer, and their award will be presented to them by the dinner's chief guest Brian Close, former captain of England, Yorkshire and Somerset.
It promises to be a great night, with the Broughton and Hibaldstow clubs also invited to be represented, as members of the Lincolnshire League.
Broughton's Nick Dobbs - son of former Lincolnshire Minor Counties wicketkeeper Nigel - is among the extensive list of trophy-winners.
