Brigg Blog's editor once had a dream job in the 1980s which involved him being paid to travel around the country watching cricket and eating and drinking on expenses!
This involving reporting on the matches played by Lincolnshire County Cricket Club, in the Minor Counties cricket competition.
Among regular players back then was Richard Burton, who was the boss of a Brigg transport company, who played his club cricket for Normanby Park Works, Scunthorpe. He was a seam bowler.
This coming Sunday, weather permitting, Lincolnshire CCC travel to Norwich to play Norfolk in their second group match in the Unicorns (Minor Counties) Knockout Trophy.
Lincs completed a huge 181-run victory last weekend over Northumberland and will select from the same squad as last week namely:- D. Lucas (Capt.), H. Azad, R. Carnelley, J. Tattersall, D. Freeman, L. Robinson, A. Tillcock, D. Brown, C. Wilson (Wkt.), M. Weightman, M. Carter and A. Willerton.
"Norfolk also won their first group fixture so a close encouter is expected," Lincs chairman Chris Keywood tells us.
