On Saturday, The Brewers play Brigg Town in the NCEL Premier League. The Zebras have had a tough 2015 to date as they were relegated from the Northern Premier League at the end of last season after playing in that league since 2004. They have also found the NCEL tough going as they have lost their first 3 league games and also went out of the FA Cup at Cleethorpes Town. The Brewers come into this game in fine form after the 5-0 win at Athersley Recreation on Wednesday and the F.A. Cup win last weekend at Hebburn Town. Brigg Town finished their last season in the NCEL Premier in 2003/4 in 3rd place, whilst the same season, The Brewers finished bottom of NCEL Division 1.

Elsewhere in the NCEL Premier on Saturday, Cleethorpes Town face a tricky trip to Albion Sports whilst Worksop Town are away at Pontefract Collieries. Current leaders Clipstone, recently promoted from NCEL Division 1 are at home to Barton Town Old Boys. After these games, the pack should start to form at the top of the table, so it is important that we stay with the front runners. The midweek win has lifted us up to 2nd place in the table with 6 points from 3 games played. I believe The Brewers will have enough to beat Brigg Town and will go for a 3-1 home victory.

Boss Billy Miller looked ahead to this fixture and had the following to say, "It'll be nice to get back at home, we have three home games in the space of a week so it's a chance to get a run under our belt and see where it can take us".
