FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME TO BRIGG THIS WEEKEND



Football will resume for Brigg Town Football Club this weekend after a very lengthy lay-off.
The Zebras, whose last first team match was on Boxing Day last December, will be hosting Barton Town in a pre-season friendly at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) on Saturday (June 26), kicking off at 1pm.
Admission costs £5 (adults) and £3 (concessions) with under-16s admitted free if accompanied by an adult. The licensed bar and Pips Kitchen will be open to spectators.
The 2021/22 season in the Northern Counties East League, to which Brigg belong, failed to restart after Covid emergency lockdown had been introduced by the Government late last year.
We now have a very interesting and unique situation.
As Brigg begin the countdown to the start of the 2021/22 season, the Euro 2020 tournament continues to be played (a year late). But the authorities opted not to re-date it to the current year.
