Before another 200-plus home crowd, Brigg Town Football Club marched on towards the end-of-season promotion play-offs with a comfortable 3-0 win over Yorkshire side Parkgate at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) yesterday (Saturday, March 26).
Josh Batty and Dayle Hutson put the Zebras ahead in the first half, with Dayle adding a second shortly after the interval.

With two games remaining, Brigg Town are third in Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One.
They can't catch leaders Hallam or second-placed North Ferriby, one of whom will be champions and gain automatic promotion.
But if they remain in third place, Town will have home advantage in the play-offs to decide who else goes up to the Premier.
The play-offs will involve the teams finishing second, third, fourth and fifth.
Harrogate Railway and Rossington Main currently occupy the places immediately below Brigg.
The Zebras and Harrogate both had 80 points but Brigg have a far superior goal difference.
Fifth-placed Rossington have 72pts and have three games remaining.
