BRIGG REC SEES A CLOSE ENCOUNTER


The local football derby match at Brigg Recreation Ground which we previewed at the weekend saw town team Black Bull beat Hibaldstow 3-2 in a close encounter in Division Three.
Elsewhere in the Paul Fox Scunthorpe Sunday League on October 24, Broughton WWC lost 6-2 in Scunthorpe against BFC in Division One, while FC Recoveries went down 7-3 to FC Showman at Hibaldstow in Division Four.
Barnetby's Sunday footballers were not in league action on this occasion.
The current Black Bull team is based at the historic Brigg pub on Wrawby Street.
In previous decades this hostelry had sides in the Scunthorpe Sunday League and the Barton Regional League at different times.
So it's good to see the Black Bull once again featuring in the Paul Fox competition for the 2021/22 campaign, with home games being played at North Lincolnshire Council's Recreation Ground, pictured above (courtesy of Neil Stapleton).
