Brigg Town Football Club attracted the biggest crowd in the entire ToolStation Northern Counties East League which saw 20 games played as the 2021/22 season kicked off yesterday (Saturday, July 31).
Town netted a last minute goal to beat West Yorkshire side Glasshoughton Welfare 3-2 in Division One with 257 spectators looking on at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns).
