BRIGG KEEPS UP CRICKET TRADITION

Does Brigg boast the only remaining "Old Boys" cricket match in northern Lincolnshire?
Last night saw a Briggensians' Association team take on a Sir John Nelthorpe XI on the school field, on a marvellous evening for cricket - bright sunshine and no hint of rain.
This annual fixture can trace its roots back many decades to the heyday of Brigg Grammar School.
Sadly,  "Old Boys" fixtures at many other schools disappeared with the onset of comprehensive education. But Brigg has managed to keep the tradition alive.
Afterwards, the Old Boys met up to chat about old times at the Yarborough Hunt, in Bridge Street.
Report of the match, and pictures, to follow.
