BRIGGENSIANS & BARNETBY FOOTBALLERS MEET IN LOCAL DERBY


A Brigg football team remains in the running for promotion following the round of fixtures played yesterday (Saturday, January 21).
Briggensians FC drew 3-3 away to Barnetby United Reserves in division three of the TSW Printers Scunthorpe & District Football League.
However, rivals Shape Changers won 7-2 against Epworth Town Colts Blues - the three points gained giving them top spot ahead of Briggensians.
Scorers in yesterday's local derby at the Silver Street ground in Barnetby were Liam Dawson, Shaun Clark, Jeffrey Dove for the villagers, and Jordan Smith, Phil Cole and Neil Gallafent for Briggensians.
There's a cracking game in prospect this coming Saturday at Sir John Nelthorpe School, where Briggensians will host Shape Changers (2pm KO).
Neither side has lost a league game this season - Briggensians having played 10 fixtures to Changers' eight.
Briggensians have won seven and drawn three, while Changers have a 100 per cent record.
Yesterday, Barnetby United's teamers, who play in division one, drew 1-1 at Scunthonians, the villagers' goal coming from Josh Isaac.
This coming Saturday, Barnetby's top side have a home fixture with high-flying Brumby at Silver Street.
This is a semi-final of the E C Surfacing Ltd Sporting Shield and will kick off at 1.30pm.
Barnetby Reserves do not have a fixture in division three on Saturday.
