BRIGG FOOTBALLERS IN CHRISTMAS CUP CLASH



Brigg Town FC Reserves will be playing for the Beel Cup (Barnetby Charity Cup)  on Monday, December 28.
Brigg play a Barnetby United XI at the village's Silver Street ground (1pm KO).
Thomas Beel's great-grand daughter will present the trophy to the winner. 
After the match there will be a race night  at the Whistle and Flute, Barnetby, to raise funds for both sides.
Historical note: The only known competitive game between the two clubs was on 29th December 1945, in the Lincs FA Benevolent Cup. Brigg ran out 7-2 winners in a round two clash. 

So next Monday's match will be played almost 70 years to the day since that meeting a few months after the Second World War.
Brigg Blog's thanks go to Lee Fielden, of Barnetby, for the information and picture of the handsome trophy.
