SWEET SUCCESS FOR BRIGG TOWN FC IN THE FA VASE

Brigg Town Football Club turned in a fine away performance in the FA Vase yesterday (Saturday, September 24).
The first teamers won 3-0 at New Mills in the second qualifying round of the FA Vase (sponsored by Isuzu) for which we understand the club will receive £725 from the generous prize pot.
Scott Phillips (pictured) gave the Zebras an early lead and netted again eight minutes from full time. Kevan Kahoussi then made the game safe by adding the third.
It was a case of sweet success for Brigg - New Mills, in the North Derbyshire Peak District, being where the Swizzels factory in based, making famous products like Refreshers, Love Hearts, Parma Violets and Rainbow Drops.
Brigg are now through to the first round proper, ties to be played on Saturday, October 22. Prize fund payments indicate £825 for all first round winners, and £250 for the losing sides.
Brigg Town have enjoyed notable success in the FA Vase - twice being winners of this national knockout competition after winning finals played at the original Wembley Stadium in 1996 and at West Ham's Upton Park Ground in 2003.
There's still a long way to go to emulate those successes, with six further rounds in the 2022/23 FA Vase, to be followed by semi-finals and then the final
Brigg Town Development lost 7-0 at Grimsby Borough Reserves in the Balcan Lighting Supplies Lincolnshire League Premier.
