SIR JOHN NELTHORPE TEAM BEATS BRIGG 'OLD BOYS' AT CRICKET


Sir John Nelthorpe School in Brigg kept up an old tradition stretching back to the days of Brigg Grammar School (pre-1976) last night (Friday June 7when it hosted a cricket match between a School XI and members of the Briggensians' Association, representing former pupils.
The School set the Old Boys a daunting target of 130, which proved just beyond them on a perfect night for cricket - bright sunshine and no hint of rain.
Afterwards the Briggensians met up at the Yarborough Hunt, in Brigg, for a few drinks and a chat about old times.
Jon Taylor, of Hibaldstow Cricket Club, umpired the match and was thanked by both teams.
