DESPERATE TO AVOID BOTTOM TWO

By Ann Boulton

Jubilee Park hosts the most crucial game of the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League weekend on Saturday when 10th placed Woodhall Spa take on Skegness who are just two points behind their opponents in the second relegation spot.
With little indication yet of which feeder league winners will seek, or be eligible for, promotion, both sides are desperate not to finish in the bottom two.
At the top of the table, Boston in third must fight off fourth placed Grimsby Town if they are to overtake Bourne and keep up their challenge for honours. Bourne also face a testing game at home to an ever-improving Hartsholme. So tight is the middle of the table that Hartsholme are ninth yet are only 18 points behind Grimsby.
Leaders Bracebridge Heath play on Market Deeping’s good batting pitch at Outgang Road which, if the weather is favourable, could produce runs galore, while bottom side Nettleham travel to Sleaford whose sixth place is threatened by both Deeping and Lindum.
The Lincoln side are away at Louth and with only four points separating the two sides, this promises to be a close game.

Boston v Grimsby
Bourne v Hartsholme
