Brigg Blog has been following the fortunes of Brigg Town Cricket Club with great interest this season and also our Lincolnshire county team, which does not get the publicity it deserves.
Brigg Town cricketers - back playing home games at the Recreation Ground - have already clinched the Lincolnshire League division four championship.
The Lincolnshire Minor Counties squad is looking to do likewise and will make the long trip north to Carlisle to face Cumberland in their final Unicorns Eastern Division match of the season, knowing that a victory (16 points) plus 3 or more bonus points will give them the Eastern Division title for the third successive year.
This feat has only been achieved once before, and that was by Staffordshire in 1991, 1992 and 1993.
The 3-day Cumberland v Lincolnshire fixture commences on Sunday, 2nd September (10.30 am start each day), and Lincs will select from the side that drew recently with Suffolk at Ipswich.
The Eastern Division winners will meet the Western Division champions in a four-day fixture at Banbury CC commencing on Sunday, 16th September.
Our thanks go to Chris Keywood, chairman of Lincolnshire County Cricket Club, for keeping us in the loop.
Years ago, Brigg Town played against Chris a number of times when he was with Lincoln club Hartsholme. We've kept in touch down the decades.
Brigg Town - pictured above in action at The Rec earlier this season - is without a fixture tomorrow (Saturday, September 1).
