CHAMPIONSHIP MAY BE DECIDED ON SATURDAY

By Ann Boulton

Cross O’Cliff Court hosts the biggest game of the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League season on Saturday when Bracebridge Heath take on Bourne in the fixture that could decide the championship.
The home side lead their opponents by 20 points and victory would ensure that they regain the title currently held by Bourne. But should the visitors win, the championship will go right to the wire.
Things are equally tight at the bottom of the table with Skegness, Hartsholme and Woodhall Spa all still in danger of slipping into the second relegation slot above bottom side Nettleham.
Skegness travel to sixth placed Louth who are now without Nuwan Shiroman but will still be formidable opponents for Wade McCall’s side while Hartsholme entertain Lindum who are two places and 16 points above their hosts.
At Jubilee Park, Woodhall Spa take on Boston who have lost the chance to finish second and need 22 points from their final two games to hang on to third place.
Threatening them are Sleaford who are at home to Grimsby who have slipped to seventh but are only seven points off fifth place.
Nettleham travel to Market Deeping who are just three ahead of Grimsby, while the bottom side will be keen to sign off with a couple of victories, having recently shown marked improvement in their batting.
Matches start at 11.30am for the final two weeks of the season.

Fixtures
Bracebridge Heath v Bourne
Hartsholme v Lindum
