GRIMSBY HOST SKEG

By Ann Boulton

Following last weekend’s second defeat in succession, Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League leaders Bracebridge Heath will be looking to get back to winning ways when they visit Sleaford, as will Boston who will aim to put last weekend’s heavy loss behind them and regain second place.
Boston are at home to Nettleham who were in a good position to claim their first victory of the season before being thwarted by the weather and the bottom side will want to build on this improved performance.
Sleaford are eighth but only six points off fourth place and will be keen to complete a hat trick of defeats for the top side.
Bourne, who took over in second, have a local derby at home to Market Deeping, now sixth and keen not to slip any further down the table.
Deeping are only four points behind fourth placed Grimsby where the visitors are Skegness, the seasiders in danger of slipping into the bottom two should Woodhall Spa continue the improvement that saw them beat the leaders last weekend.
Woodhall are currently 19 adrift of Skegness so need to pick up points to stay in touch with the teams above them but could find the going tough at home to a rejuvenated Lindum side.
Louth and Hartsholme, who meet at London Road in what could be the match of the day, stay locked in the middle of the table, just three points separating the two in fifth and seventh respectively.
