BRIGG SPORTS CLUB TO FIELD SEVEN TEAMS THIS SEASON


Brigg Hockey Club will be fielding SEVEN teams during the new season - all playing home games at the Recreation Ground on the all-weather and floodlit 'Blue Astro' pitch provided by North Lincolnshire Council.
Although there has been a gradual reduction in the number of amateur football and cricket teams based in Brigg over a number of years, hockey's popularity continues.
Brigg will be fielding four men's sides in various divisions this season, and there will be three ladies' teams.
The first games of the 2022/23 season at Brigg Rec will be on Saturday, September 17 when the Ladies' 2nd XI will play from 12.30pm, to be followed by the Men's 2nds at 2pm.
There will be a full complement of four matches on September 24 - the first starting at 11am and the last at 3.30pm.
Fixtures at the Rec will continue weekly until mid-December when a Christmas and New Year break will be taken.
The second half of the season begins on January 14, 2023 and the final fixtures are expected to be played in Brigg on April 1.
Brigg Men's Hockey Club was founded way back in 1920.
