On Sunday we paid our very first cricketing visit to Blyth (North Notts) and were very impressed by the warm welcome, the warm weather and the pretty ground - something of a cross between Brocklesby Park and Elsham. You are talking a lengthy trip from home in Brigg to get to Blyth, and it was likewise for the visiting team, Caistor. The North Lindsey League these days covers a huge geographical area, from Cleethorpes and Grimsby in the east, right inland to Nottinghamshire. And to think that, years ago, we used to grumble a bit about having to make one trip a season to Gainsborough to play Holy Trinity (just a few yards beyond the Trent bridge). Not to be confused with the other Trent Bridge!
