READERS LINCOLNSHIRE ECB PREMIER LEAGUE
August 10
Leaders Woodhall Spa take Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Prasanna
Jayawardene to Sleaford for whom New
Zealand batsman Tim McIntosh has now
hit almost 900 runs in 14 games.
Woodhall Spa have a 23 point advantage over Sleaford and with
just six games to go, a victory would put the Jubilee Park team well on the way
to the championship while a win for Sleaford would put them within striking
distance of the title.
Sleaford will be aware that Bracebridge Heath, who travel to Grimsby , are
only five points adrift in third place, with Market Deeping a further nine
behind in fourth.
Deeping make the short trip to Bourne who have pulled
themselves clear of the bottom three in the table and will be gearing up for
the ECB T20 Area Finals challenge at York on Sunday.
Grimsby need a win to make it back into the top half of the
table but are finding runs hard to come by, although Ross Carnelly’s good knock
last week will have boosted their confidence.
But Bracebridge’s top order are firing on all cylinders and could notch
up a big score if they bat first at Augusta
Street .
Lower down the table, Louth – who have slipped to ninth – are
at home to bottom side Hartsholme while Haxey, who have widened the gap over
the Ashby Avenue side,
make the long journey to sixth placed Skegness.
Only nine points separate Skegness and Louth and this
weekend’s games could see changes in mid-table.
Spalding trail Louth by 15 points but are a comfortable 33 up
on Haxey and will be looking for at least a share of the points when they host
Lindum whose steady run of results has taken them up to fifth.
Fixtures
Louth v Hartsholme
Spalding v Lindum
Skegness v Haxey
Bourne v Market Deeping
Sleaford v Woodhall Spa
