From Andy Sharp, Keelby CC/Lincs League statistician
I read your piece about Dave Matthews (aka Firth Brown Freddie) and I can shed a bit more light on this one.
Back in the late '80s I worked at Firth Brown Castings, on Dawes Lane, Scunthorpe, as did Dave. There was a lot of descussion regarding cricket so we decided to resurrect a company team in local cricket and we entered the North Lindsey League, including as many employees as we could. Ironically we played at Ashby Ville, rather than at the old "Firth Brown" ground at Brumby Hall. However, after a couple of yearsinterest fell away and we had to pull out of the League. Both myself and Dave moved on Brigg Town for regular cricket after that.
