There was to have been a Brigg Town football match to watch at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) tonight (Wednesday, July 20) Brigg Town Development v Gainsborough Trinity Under 21s.
However, spectators planning to hot foot it down to the ground for a 7.45pm kick-off should note that the pre-season friendly game has now been CANCELLED due to concerns about the hot weather.

Trinity played in the Football League from 1893 until 1912.
Brigg-born Joe Kitching made his Football League debut for Trinity in Division Two in 1896, later scoring more than 100 goals for Sheffield United.
