BRIGG TOWN FC THROUGH TO CUP QUARTER FINALS


 

Brigg Town Football Club eased their way through to the quarter-finals of the Toolstation Northern Counties East League quarter finals last night (Tuesday, January 25).
The Zebras won 3-1 at Rossington Main in a third round tie - courtesy of goals from Scott Phillips, Reece Newell and Josh Batty.
Barton Town are also through to the last eight, having beaten AFC Mansfield in a penalty shoot-out last night following a 1-1 scoreline after 90 minutes.
Bottesford Town, Grimsby Borough and Winterton Rangers will be in round three action tonight.
Brigg Town's main aim for the 2021/22 season remains securing promotion to the Premier Division, but further progress in the League Cup will be welcome.
The draw for the quarter finals, and the dates, will be announced in due course.
Brigg also have a Lincs County Cup semi-final coming up. So there's a chance of securing what would be a memorable treble by the club's first team squad - two cups an promotion or even the Division One championship.
That would bring back happy memories for long-serving supporters who can remember management eras of Ralph 'Raz' Clayton and Brian Stratford.
