DATE & VENUE ANNOUNCED FOR BRIGG TOWN'S COUNTY CUP FINAL

Brigg Town footballers are to get a rare chance to play at Scunthorpe United's Sands Venue Stadium (formerly Glanford Park).
The Zebras will take on Winterton Rangers at this venue in the final of the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy on Wednesday, April 20 (7.45pm kick off).
Tickets will be made available through the Lincolnshire Football Association in due course, Brigg Town FC says, with details to follow.
Brigg defeated Bottesford Town 2-0 at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) in a midweek semi-final played on Wednesday, February 23.
Winterton Rangers play in the Northern Counties East Premier Division - one section above Brigg in the football pyramid structure.
Brigg Town's previous appearances on Football League grounds include an FA Cup first round tie at Tranmere Rovers in 2001 (losing 4-1) and winning the FA Vase final against Sudbury at West Ham's Upton Park (Boleyn Ground, London) two years later.
Brigg played an important part in Scunthorpe United's late 1980s move from the Old Show Ground to a new venue on the edge of the steel town at Gunness.
A meeting of Glanford Borough Council, held in what is now the Hewson House office block off Station Road, granted the all-important planning permission which was required for the new stadium to proceed - Gunness being within this borough.
We reported the meeting for the Scunthorpe Telegraph, and it was front (and back) page news of major interest to football fans.
Scunthorpe United's then chairman, Graham Pearson, sat in the public gallery as councillors discussed the proposals.
The Iron's old venue on Doncaster Road was sold for redevelopment as a large supermarket with extensive car parking alongside.
Glanford Park began a trend. A number of other Football League clubs followed suit by moving from long-established grounds to purpose-built grounds beyond town and city boundaries. More could be created in the future.

Brigg Town Veterans drew 2-2 away to Springhead Highway in Hull & District League Division Four yesterday (March 13). Brigg are top of the table.

In their Paul Fox Scunthorpe League Dave Ward Cup semi-final yesterday, Broughton WMC drew 1-1 at Black Beauty but then lost the penalty shoot-out. Hibaldstow were beaten 5-3 by Crosby in Division Three.
