The first team has had a poor start to the season despite having John Allcock's (59-'67) 3 sons David, Jamie and Jonathan in it - or maybe that's why!! Things have got better and they are now out of the relegation zone in Division 3 ofthe Scunthorpe Saturday League.
The reserves are faring a lot better in Division 4 of the same league and are currently in a promotion place, thanks mainly to goals from Craig Benson ('77-'83).
Both teams have recently won through to the semi finals of the Nursing Cup - the prospect of an all-Briggensians final looms large!
This is rapidly becoming the established Official / Unofficial Old Boys Game. The Game always takes place the day after Boxing Day at school, 10.30 kick off- we nearly had more spectators than players this year. The old Old Boys won by 5 goals to 4, thanks largely to some expert refereeing by Adrian Gibbons ('62-70). Goals for the Old Boys were scored by Gibbons, Lukianczuk, Streatfield (2), Evans and for the Young Old Boys by Jon Allcock (2), Jim Allcock, Jon Taylor. Nice to see Bernie Vaughan ('60-'68) and family.
