UNEXPECTED MEETING

Former Brigg resident and well-known sportsman, Stuart Trevor, is now living and working in Scunthorpe.
I bumped into him in the steel town on Friday, and we had a chat about enjoyable days spent with Brigg Hockey Club.
Stuart also played regularly for Brocklesby Park Cricket Club, with some games for Brigg Town.
On one occasion Brigg got a very difficult Sunday cup draw away to Ross Sports (Grimsby) when they were in the top flight of Lincolnshire League cricket and we weren't.
Ross brought on their premier division spinner, whose flighty deliveries did not impress Stuart who promptly hit him twice onto the roof of the clubhouse in the same over. Huge hits on a big ground.
We lost the game but Stuart's was by far the most entertaining innings of the day.
