BATS AT THE READY


Last night's annual meeting of Brigg Town Cricket Club at the Nelthorpe Arms (Scanlon's) was not particularly well attended. But that's nothing new for such get-togethers in Brigg, whatever the club, society or organisation involved.
Robert Todd (pictured) chaired the meeting, with Lee Fielden delivering the secretary's report and Dylan Hildreth dealing with the cash side of things. Finances seem healthy - by cricket club standards!
Lee, Jack Richards and Gary Smith gave encouraging reports about the youth teams - sides are run from under-11 up to under-17 - and Joe Hebblewhite reported on the debut season in the West Wold Midweek League.
Brigg Town's first team finished third in East Yorkshire Alliance division three, with the second team runners-up in division four. The Sunday team also held its own in the North Lindsey League.
Second team skipper Phil Dewfall, who was unable to make the meeting, is to continue in the post next season but will get some experienced help, as Dave Willey has returned to the club for which he made his debut in 1974.
As regular Blog and Scunthorpe Telegraph readers may be aware, Brigg Town's first team has been re-elected to the Lincolnshire League for 2009, and will play in division four.
Prospective new members, of whatever age, should contact Lee Fielden, tel 07787715825.
