1,000+ WATCH BRIGG TOWN IN LEAGUE ACTION AS 'GIBB GAME' DONATIONS CONTINUE

More than 1,000 spectators watched Brigg Town Football Club's first team game yesterday (Tuesday, December 28) as donations continue to be received for a worthy cause allied to Monday's Adrian Gibbons ('Gibb') charity match which was played at the EC Surfacing Stadium.
Unfortunately for the Zebras and their travelling fans, Brigg were defeated 3-2 at Hallam yesterday in an important game involving teams aspiring to promotion from ToolStation Northern Counties East Division One.
The 1,128 spectators present in Sheffield saw Scott Phillips (penalty) and Jon Oglesby net for Brigg Town in the second half. Town were one down at half-time.
Hoping to secure promotion at the end of the season (automatically or through the play-offs) Brigg remain in third spot, while Hallam have now gone above North Ferriby to become the new leaders. Ferriby lost 2-1 at home to mid-table Hall Road Rangers yesterday in a local derby also watched by more than 1,000 people.
We have received an update from Steve Ayling on the Briggensians v Brigg Over 30s charity match in memory of Adrian Gibbons which was played at Brigg Town's EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) on Monday (see picture above).
It includes a big thank you to all the players and spectators who collectively raised a "whopping" £797 in support of Cardiac Screening Fundraising. Special thanks go to Jane Gibbons and Jon Taylor for their help and support.
Brigg Blog has also received a welcome link to a JustGiving page from Steve, where people can find out more...

We note that local residents and others with Brigg connections have donated to the cause very recently, and there's an opportunity for others to do likewise in the days ahead.
