Brigg Town Football Club missed a late penalty and had to settle for a 1-1 draw in their opening game of the 2022/23 season in Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One yesterday (Saturday, July 30).
The Zebras shared the spoils with Bradford side Campion at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns).
The visitors went ahead in the first half courtesy of an own goal, and a Brigg defeat looked in prospect until a leveller deep in the second half arrived from Fraser Papprill with a great strike.
Then, with time running out, Brigg were awarded a spot-kick which the Campion keeper managed to save.
The official attendance was 326 - the highest yesterday across Division One.
