CRICKET PREVIEW: BRIGG AT HOME WHILE IT'S DERBY DAY FOR HIBALDSTOW & BROUGHTON


Brigg Town Cricket Club will end the 2021 season with a home game against Nettleham 2nds at the Recreation Ground on Saturday (August 28).
This might prove a testing match for mid-table Town against the leaders of Lincolnshire County Cricket League Division Three who have won nine times and lost only once.
There's an interesting local derby coming up in Division One, with bottom side Hibaldstow hosting third-in-the-table Broughton.
Meanwhile, Broughton 2nds, who are currently in danger of relegation from Division Two, could do with a healthy points return from a home game against second-placed Alkborough at the Scawby Road venue.
These Lincs League games all begin at 1pm, and Brigg Blog is planning to report on the match at the Rec (weather permitting!). 

Our action picture shows the game between Brigg Town and Nettleham 2nds underway at the Rec Ground in August 2019, which Town went on to win by a narrow two-wicket margin, taking the maximum 20 points on offer.
