ANN BOULTON PREVIEW'S SATURDAY'S GAMES IN THE LINCS ECB PREMIER

READERS LINCOLNSHIRE ECB PREMIER LEAGUE

The bottom of the table provides the game of the day in the penultimate weekend of the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League season.

Hartsholme journey to Market Deeping for the match that could decide which of the teams finishes in the relegation zone.

The visitors are 19 points ahead of their hosts following two excellent wins against top of the table sides but need a victory at Outgang Road to be sure of retaining their place in the league.

Deeping are 18 up on bottom side Boston who travel to Bourne looking for a win that could give them hopes of survival.  Bourne look fairly safe in eighth place but will be aiming for a top six finish.

League leaders Haxey have a tough game at Jubilee Park where Woodhall Spa are only two adrift of fourth place which is occupied by Sleaford.  And with London Road hosting second placed Skegness – who will be desperate to regain the top spot – it could again be all change.

Bracebridge Heath continue to be the dark horses of the competition and should they win their home game against Louth and either of the top two slip up, the 2011 champions could still be in with a chance of honours.

Lindum and Grimsby continue to fight it out for sixth place, the Lincoln side having an eight point advantage over Jim Morgan’s team, who are their guests at St Giles Avenue.

Morgan is currently the league’s top wicketkeeper, two dismissals ahead of Lindum’s Richard Bishop, while Harry Warwick of Grimsby has now topped 500 runs for the season and Carl Taylor needs one more victim to reach 30 wickets.
