DEWFALL GIVES BRIGG CRICKETERS JUST THE 'PHILIP' THEY NEED!


Brigg Town Cricket Club wasted no time in recording a first victory of the 2016 season.
It came on Saturday against Caistor 3rds in division four of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League.
The game was switched from Caistor to Brigg's home venue for this season, Brocklesby Park.
Brigg won the toss and invited Caistor to bat first. They only managed a moderate 84, as Brigg left-arm opening bowler Phil Dewfall took four for 23, Nick Beacock two for 32,  David Baggott one for nought and Jack Richards one for 26.
David held two catches and was named the team's fielder of the match.
Brigg's reply did not start well, with both openers going cheaply.
However, experienced all-rounder Richards hit 24 and Harry Cadwallader an unbeaten 31 to see Brigg to victory in the 24th over. Their cause was assisted by a generous helping of 22 extras.
Having been rained off in their scheduled opening fixture against Scunthorpe Town 3rds at Hibaldstow, Brigg took the maximum 20 points on offer from Saturday's game with Caistor.
Brigg Blog bumped into a couple of the Brigg players last night as they celebrated at the Dying Gladiator.
Our picture shows Phil a few seasons ago when Brigg were still playing home games at the Recreation Ground, off Wrawby Road. Paul Harrison sneaked into the shot.
