CLOSE ENCOUNTER AT BRIGG TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB IN AID OF CHARITY

A close encounter was played and enjoyed at Brigg Town Football Club's EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) yesterday (Monday, December 27).
The annual match held in memory of long-serving Brigg teacher Adrian Gibbons saw the Briggensians draw 1-1 at full-time with Brigg Over-30s. The 'Old Boys' then won on penalties to secure the trophy for another year.
Among those to score from the spot was 72-year-old Col Mumby who, well over 50 years ago, played for Scunthorpe United Reserves alongside Kevin Keegan, who went on to become a much-capped England international.
Following yesterday's match, members of both teams took part in various 'indoor games' including darts, pool, dominoes and fives & threes, plus a quiz. 

Some £797 was raised to help fund a mobile cardiac screening for young people. View details through this link...

Adrian Gibbons, who played football for various local teams including Brigg Town and Briggensians, died in 2014, aged 63.
He was a very popular and highly respected teacher at Sir John Nelthorpe School, Brigg. 'Gibb' also helped to organise many quizzes in the town.
