A Brigg football team ended the 2021/22 season on a high note yesterday (Sunday, April 24).
Black Bull squad members, some of whom are pictured above, began playing in the Paul Fox Scunthorpe Sunday League last autumn.
Yesterday morning they defeated Duffs Dynamos 3-0 in their final Division Three fixture which was played at Barnetby's Silver Street venue rather than at Brigg Recreation Ground.
Following this victory over the bottom-placed team, Black Bull have finished clear of the relegation zone.
They played 12 league matches - winning four, drawing one and losing seven.
Not in Division Three action yesterday, Barnetby United (Sunday) are runners-up in this section, while Hibaldstow have finished fourth - one place and one point above Black Bull.
Brigg team players are now to hold a presentation evening at their social base - the Wrawby Street pub of the same name - on May 6.
Elsewhere in the Paul Fox competition yesterday, bottom side Broughton WMC's scheduled Division One game against champions Mulligans was 'not played.'
The same applied to table-topping Brigg Town Veterans' away fixture at Withernsea in Hull & District League Division Four which will take place at a later date.
Brigg Town FC hosted the Paul Fox League's Bob Bedford Memorial Cup final at the EC Surfacing Stadium yesterday, with BFC beating Trinity 3-1.
FC Recoveries, who have been playing their home games at Hibaldstow, have finished second from bottom in Division Four.
