We understand Epworth are interested in putting a team into the North Lindsey League on Sundays. And we gather Belton Playing Field is being suggested as their home venue.
More may be revealed at next week's Lindsey League meeting at Brumby Hall, Scunthorpe.
If this all comes to pass it will be good to see another Isle team back in league action and another well-known village ground of the past returning to the fold.
Epworth had a team in the North Lindsey League for many years, and also a Saturday side in the old South Humberside Alliance.
Belton's ground, of course, hosted very good standard Lincolnshire League cricket, as well as matches in the North Lindsey League.
When you look round the Isle of Axholme now we have Haxey, Outcasts and Luddington (the latter being just north of the Isle in some people's eyes). At various times the North Lindsey League has boasted sides like Crowle Town, Keadby Power Station, West Butterwick and Owston Ferry, plus Belton and Epworth.
You may well be able to think of others from this westerly part of Lincolnshire. Beware, though, of including Misterton. Although only a handful of miles down the road from Haxey, it's actually over the border in Nottinghamshire.
