BRIGG & DISTRICT WEEKEND SPORTS PREVIEW INCLUDES NEW CLUB'S LEAGUE DEBUT


There will be football to watch in Brigg tomorrow (Saturday, September 10) while most of our district's cricket teams will be playing their last Lincolnshire County League games of the season (weather permitting).
Brigg Town Development have a home fixture against Immingham Town at the EC Surfacing Stadium in the Balcan Lighting Supplies Lincolnshire Football League Premier (3pm).
At the same time, Briggensians will be kicking off at Brigg Recreation Ground against Gunness & Burringham in Scunthorpe & District League Division Two.
There's an away game in Yorkshire for Brigg Town FC's first team at Selby - currently eighth and one place above the Zebras in Toolstation Northern Counties East Division One.

LATER UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE THAT FOOTBALL MATCHES THIS WEEKEND HAVE SINCE BEEN POSTPONED.

 
Brigg Town Cricket Club have a 'must win' game on Saturday in Hibaldstow where they will be taking on Scunthorpe Town 3rds (1pm start).
Brigg are eight points adrift at the bottom of Division Three West, and this will be the last game of the campaign for captain Danny Bradley's squad. Twenty points are awarded for an outright victory.
Broughton 2nds - runners-up in this section - sign off with a home game against Haxey 2nds.
Currently fifth in Division One, Broughton 1sts visit bottom-placed Alkborough.
Striving to keep clear of the relegation zone in Division Two, Hibaldstow 1sts make the lengthy trip to Alford for their penultimate fixture of the season.
Sunday (September 11) will see the first set of games played in the Paul Fox Scunthorpe Sunday Football League's 2022-23 season. And it includes a debut in the competition for a newly-admitted team from our area.
In Division Two there's an interesting local derby at the Silver Street venue where Barnetby United will be hosting Hibaldstow (10.30am) while Broughton WMC have the same kick-off time at Winterton Rovers.
Wrawby Millers will make their league debut in Scunthorpe, with a Division Three match against Crosby at the Foxhills Sportsground.
