BRIGG TOWN CRICKET CLUB 2017 SEASON PREVIEW


Brigg Town Cricket Club will begin the 2017 season next month in the fourth division of the Lincolnshire County Cricket League.
Although a super new changing room block with facility for serving teas to visiting teams recently opened at Brigg Recreation Ground, further work needs to be carried out to the playing area before Brigg Town can re-apply to play home games at the venue off Wrawby Road.
Brocklesby Park has hosted Brigg's home games in recent seasons. For 2017 the club will be hiring facilities at nearby Hibaldstow and at Keelby - by kind permission of these village clubs.
Here's a full week-by-week run-down of confirmed Brigg games, courtesy of Glen Sands, fixture secretary of the Lincs League.
