Important home games are coming up this Saturday (July 30) for Brigg Town Football Club and Brigg Town Cricket Club, with the milestone 25th Ancholme Valley Way Parkrun also taking place.
Brigg Town FC begin what everyone hopes will prove to be a promotion season for the first team by hosting Campion (from Bradford) on the opening day of the 2022/23 Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One programme.
Kick-off at the EC Surfacing Stadium (Hawthorns) is 3pm, with Pip's Kitchen and the licensed Hawthorns bar open for refreshments. Admission rates are £5 (adults), £3 (concessions), free for U18s (if accompanying a paying adult).
Brigg were a very free-scoring team last season when they finished third but failed to achieve promotion to the Premier through the play-offs.
Brigg Town Development will be away to Gainsborough Trinity U18s on Saturday at the Roses Ground (3pm).
Fresh from a tonic away win last weekend, Brigg Town Cricket Club will welcome Scunthorpe Town 3rds to the Recreation Ground tomorrow for a Lincolnshire County League Division Three West fixture, starting at 1pm.
It would be good to see some football fans watching the cricket before, or after, attending the Brigg v Campion game on the adjoining ground.
Broughton 1st XI will be at home to Bracebridge Heath 2nds, from Lincoln, tomorrow in Division One.
Hibaldstow, playing in Division Two, will also have home advantage against Lindum 3rds - another Lincoln team.
Saturday will be a big one for promotion-chasing Broughton 2nds - second in Division Three West - who visit unbeaten leaders Barton Town 2nds.
Tomorrow morning will see the 25th Ancholme Valley Way Parkrun start at 9am from near the Ancholme Way Bridge in Brigg.
Last Saturday (July 23) local man Mark Morris was the first of 153 competitors to complete the riverside course. View full details here...
