MORE THAN 500 TAKING PART

A big summer football tournament is being organised by Brigg Town Juniors FC on the Sir John Nelthorpe School playing field.
Now in its third year, the event will cater for age groups under-nine through to under-16. Some 576 youngsters will be taking part, approximately 100 of whom belong to Brigg Town teams alone! There will be just as many enthusiastic family members present watching the youngsters in action.
Saturday, August 30 will see the under nine, 10, 12 and 13s playing, while the following day will see the under-11s, 14s, 15s and 16s taking to the field.
The action starts at 10am, running through to approximtely 4pm on both days.
Spokesman Paddy Ellis said: "Entry for the watching public is completely free and there will be food, hot and cold drinks, ice cream and a team/action photographer.
"Anyone willing to give a hand with numerous tasks on the two days - car parking, registrations, refereeing, etc will be more than welcome. Just turn up on the day from 8am onwards.
"Brigg Town Football Club is the most senior and well-established organisation in the area. We offer excellent coaching of young boys and girls, from the ages of seven right through to 18, and give them the chance to play competitive football in well-established leagues in and around not only the Scunthorpe area but also the Grimsby leagues."
If you are between these ages and are interested in playing football, or if you are a budding coach and wish to get involved in junior football, contact Paddy Ellis on 07889443248.
