BRIGG TOWN FOOTBALLERS WIN COVETED LINCOLNSHIRE TROPHY

Many congratulations are due to Brigg Town Football Club for triumphing in the showpiece Lincolnshire Senior Trophy Final played last night (Wednesday, April 20).
Watched by a four-figure crowds, the Zebras defeated Winterton Rangers 1-0 to become county title-holders.
The all-important goal came in the second half from the Zebras' top scorer Scott Phillips, who has netted regularly during the Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One campaign.
But Brigg's defence deserves great credit for thwarting all Winterton's efforts.
Both teams took plenty of support with them to the final, played at Scunthorpe United's Sands Venue (originally known as Glanford Park).
The crowd figure was 1,107 - almost 600 being described as "Brigg support." Some neutral football fans were also present.
The final was arranged by the Lincolnshire Football Association in conjunction with the Iron.
Winterton were regarded by many as the favourites, as they operate one division above Brigg in football's pyramid structure.
