Following delays relating to the Coronavirus emergency, Brigg Town Cricket Club can finally start the 2020 season this Saturday (August 1), visiting Barton Town for the first of their North East Group games in a specially arranged competition.
Broughton are away to Grimsby Town in the same section, while Hibaldstow visit Alkborough in the North West Group.
This competition has replaced the Lincolnshire League fixtures that should have been played between now and the end of the campaign.
The nearest game to Brigg tomorrow afternoon (August 1) will be at Caistor, where Horncastle are the visitors in the Wolds Group.
Group games continue through August, with the four section winners meeting in the semi-finals on September 5. The final will be played at Barton's Marsh Lane ground on the 12th.
Sadly, there will be no Minor Counties (now known as National Counties) cricket at all for Lincolnshire in 2020.
All games have been cancelled and the aim is to 'roll over' the programme to 2021 which means that Lincs will be battling it out with Staffordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire in Eastern Division One, as well as taking part in T20 and 50 over competitions.
