By Ann BoultonAway games face the top three in the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League with leaders Lindum looking to add to their points tally when they visit Skegness.
This will be the first home fixture of the season for the seasiders who have picked up only 18 points from their first two games but have the potential to pose a problem for their Lincoln visitors.
Market Deeping, who are four points behind Lindum, travel to sixth placed Woodhall Spa but it is Bracebridge Heath, just one point behind Deeping who could face the toughest game as they visit Grimsby.
The Augusta Street team are three points adrift of their opponents and though they will be without skipper Richard Antcliffe, with real depth in their batting and a bowling attack strengthened by quickie Carl Taylor, they could pose problems for Paul Cook’s side.
Bottom placed Sleaford will be looking to recover from a disastrous start when they entertain Louth but Nuwan Shiroman, who hit form right from the first game of the season, could find the London Road pitch to his liking.
Fellow strugglers Nettleham are away to champions Bourne who are still in the bottom half of the table despite last weekend’s victory.
And Boston and Hartsholme, also both in the bottom half, will renew old rivalries when they meet at the Mayflower Ground, both sides having gained promotion – and avoided immediate relegation - in 2010. This match brings together last season’s top run scorers, Warren Nel for Hartsholme and Boston’s Jonny Cheer.
Grimsby and Bracebridge Heath will meet again later this month as they battle out the first semi-final of the Winkworth Cup to be held at Sleaford on Monday, May 30 at 10.30am. Lindum will then play Boston at 1.30pm with the final at 4.30pm.
