BRIGG TOWN TO PLAY IN MEMORY OF IAN 'CHALKIE' WHYTE

Brigg Town Football Club will be hosting Bottesford Town at The Hawthorns on Saturday, July 20. This is a pre-season local derby, kick-off 3pm.
Bottesford will be playing the 2019/2020 season in the Northern Counties East Premier Division, while Brigg will be in NCEL Division One, having gained promotion from the Lincolnshire League.
The teams on Saturday will be playing for the Ian “Chalkie” Whyte Memorial Shield.
The well-known footballer, coach and youth development officer died early this year.
Brigg Town FC held a minute's silence in his memory and said everyone had been "devastated by the loss of this great man."
After joining Brigg he worked with their U18 and U21 teams.
Ian also helped to develop young footballers at Scunthorpe United, Lincoln City, Sheffield United and elsewhere.
At the nearby Recreation Ground this Saturday, Brigg Town Cricket Club will be hoping to get back to winning ways during the home fixture against Messingham 2nds (1.30pm).
That's in Lincolnshire League Division Three, and spectators are welcome.
There's an option to watch the opening overs of the cricket on Saturday before making the short walk to The Hawthorns for the football, returning to the Rec at 4.45pm to see how the cricket match ends.
Brigg Town FC lost 3-2 to Hykeham Town in a pre-season fixture last Saturday (July 13).
