Dave Willey (left) and Andy Sharp, who shared a 60-run, match-winning partnership for the Briggensians' Association against Sir John Nelthorpe School in the annual challenge match at Brigg Recreation Ground.
The School made 95 for six (Richard Eagles 27 not out) and the Briggensians reached their target for the loss of only one wicket, Andy Sharp scoring 49 not out and Dave Willey 12 not out.
Peter Douce kindly umpired the game, which was memorable for Old Boys' skipper Lee Fielden bowling the first maiden over of his career. He generally keeps wicket.
Many players visited Brigg's Yarborough Hunt pub after the game for a few beers.
School v Old Boys used to be a fixture at many schools in Lincolnshire - but not many have survived.
