In addition to cricket, sports fans in the Brigg area will be able to watch running, cycling, kayaking and river swimming this weekend which sees a World Cup series quadrathlon event being staged locally.
The Keyo Brigg Bomber Quadrathlon, the Keyo Brigg Bomber Standard Distance Triathlon and a new Keyo Brigg Sprint Quadrathlon will all be held on Sunday morning (May 29) from 8.30am over several hours.
These events are being organised by the Lincsquad club and will be centred on the Ancholme Leisure Centre at Scawby Brook.
Competitors will be swimming in the New River Ancholme, cycling to and from Redbourne and running from Broughton Bridge alongside the river into Brigg and then making their way to the leisure centre. There will also be a Castlethorpe Bridge kayak section.
The Keyo Brigg Bomber Quad 2022 comprises a 1.5k river swim, 32k by bike, 7k in a kayak & a 10k run. It is part of the World Quadrathlon Federation World Cup series.
Brigg, Broughton and Hibaldstow cricket teams have some important cup and league games coming up.
Having kick-started their Lincolnshire County League season with a welcome home victory last Saturday, Brigg Town have a local derby tomorrow.
